DURING THE CLASSES

I. Update basic knowledge

What is biological evolution? (B. evolution is the irreversible development of the organic world).
What evolutionary process is called microevolution? (The process of formation of new species).
What is macroevolution? (The process of formation of larger systematic units - genera, families, etc.).

II. new material

1. Types of evolutionary changes (lecture, conversation).

(In the course of viewing the slides, students write the definitions in a notebook).

The main types of evolutionary change include parallelism, convergence, and divergence ( Attachment 1 , slide 2).

Parallelism is the independent acquisition of similar traits by related organisms living in the same conditions and leading a similar lifestyle.
For example, the body structure of mammals inhabiting the rainforests of Africa and South America has a general similarity ( Attachment 1 , slide 3).

Convergence - the emergence of similar structural features in unrelated organisms living in the same conditions and leading a similar lifestyle.
For example, four groups of animals gave rise to large aquatic predators: molluscs, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
What kind common features structures can be distinguished in these animals belonging to various systematic groups ( Attachment 1 , slide 4)? (Fins, streamlined body shape).
Convergent evolution affects only the external structure of organisms, which is associated with environmental conditions. The wing of a bird and a butterfly are adaptations for flight, but the origin and structure of these organs are different. Organs of different origin, but performing similar functions are called similar ( Attachment 1 , slide 5)

Divergence - discrepancy of signs within the aisles of a population, species, arising under the influence of natural selection, leading to the emergence of new species, orders, classes, etc.

As a result of divergent evolution, the class of mammals broke up into numerous orders, the representatives of which differ in structure, lifestyle, and the nature of physiological and behavioral adaptations ( Attachment 1 , slide 6).
- What was the reason for the formation of numerous groups of mammals? (Adapt to different conditions environment)
Modified limbs of a whale, a bird, a bat, a mole, a rat are the result of divergent evolution. These organs have the same general structural plan, but perform different functions. Such organs are called homologous ( Attachment 1 , slide 7).

2. Ways and directions of the evolution of the organic world

A significant contribution to the development of the problem of evolution was made by prominent Russian scientists A.N. Severtsev and I.I. Schmalhausen. They found that the main ways of evolution are aromorphosis, idioadaptation, degeneration ( Attachment 1 , slide 8).

The contribution of Russian scientists to the development of evolutionary doctrine(short messages from students)

A.N. Severtsev is a well-known zoologist and the largest theoretician of evolutionary doctrine. Founder of the national school of evolutionary morphologists. Organized and headed the Laboratory of evolutionary morphology and ecology of animals. Creator of the generally accepted theory of the origin of the five-fingered limb and paired fins in animals. The author of the theory of phylembryogenesis, according to which new characters can appear at any stage of ontogenesis, and the morphobiological theory of evolutionary paths, in which he established four main directions of biological progress: aromorphosis, idioadaptation, cenogenesis, and general degeneration.
I.I.Shmalgauzen graduated from Kyiv University in 1907. A student of A.N.Severtsev. At Moscow University, he headed the chair of Darwinism organized by him. For twelve years he headed the Institute of Evolutionary Morphology of the USSR Academy of Sciences. His numerous works are devoted to comparative anatomy and embryology, evolutionary morphology, the origin of terrestrial vertebrates, the ways and patterns of evolution, and biocybernetics. His studies of the mechanisms of the evolutionary process and individual development as self-regulating systems anticipated a number of provisions of cybernetics, from the positions of which he in 1950-60s. presented evolutionary theory. His scientific legacy has had and continues to have a great influence on the development of biological science.
(BENP, Kirill and Melodiy, 2003)

Aromorphosis - adaptive changes general meaning, which increase the level of organization and viability of individuals, populations, species.
The first terrestrial vertebrates gave rise to a group of lobe-finned fish, due to a change in the structure of the skeleton of paired fins. As a result, five-fingered limbs were formed, capable of supporting the body above the ground ( Attachment 1 , slide 9).
An example of aromorphosis in plants is the appearance of a flower (a modified shoot) in angiosperms.
Idioadaptation - private adaptive changes that are useful in a given environment, occurring without changing the overall level of organization.
An example of idioadaptation in animals is the variety of beaks of Hawaiian flower girls that feed on the nectar of various angiosperms.
Adaptation to seed dispersal by wind is an example of one of the ideological adaptations in plants ( Attachment 1 , slide 10)

Correlation of paths of evolution

The muskrat is a North American introduced species whose distribution area is constantly expanding. As a result, it begins to crowd out native species with similar ecological needs, such as the muskrat and the water vole.
biological regression ( Attachment 1 , slide 14) is characterized by:

  • Decrease in the number of individuals.
  • Narrowing of the range.
  • Reducing the number of species, populations.

Cause biological regression there may be a change in environmental conditions to which the species has failed to adapt, or competition from other species. So it was with the numerous dominant group of reptiles on Earth, which, thanks to warm-bloodedness, were replaced by birds and mammals.
At present, by changing the environment, recklessly moving species to new conditions of existence, a person, willingly or unwillingly, becomes the cause of biological progress or regression. Attachment 1 , slide 21)

parallelism- such a process when an organ, as a result of divergence, turns into many homologous organs. But then, in the course of evolution, these homologous organs again begin to perform a common function.

the bodies of an ichthyosaur, a shark and a dolphin (and even a penguin swimming in the water) are very similar and formed from the same skeletal elements, but in completely different evolutionary ways.


The process of historical development of a species is called phylogenesis


Is evolution reversible?

If the former conditions of existence are restored on Earth, will dinosaurs reappear.


Rules of Evolution

The rule of alternation of the main directions of evolution


Rule of irreversibility of evolution

Louis Dollo

(1857-1931)

Belgian

paleontologist

“The organism never returns exactly to its former state, even if it finds itself in conditions of existence identical to those through which it has passed. But due to the indestructibility of the past, he always retains some trace of the intermediate stages that he passed through.



What evidence can be given for the irreversibility of evolution?

reptiles do not give rise to amphibians again

land vertebrates - ichthyosaurs and whales, returning to the water, did not turn into fish


Ernest Haeckel's Law

Ontogeny is an accelerated repetition of phylogenesis

organisms in the process of embryonic development repeat all those stages that the species went through in the process of evolutionary development

Basic laws of evolution.


1. What is evolution?
2. What facts support the evolutionary doctrine?

When constructing phylogenetic series, evolutionary biologists, in addition to paleontological data, widely use the comparative method, with the help of which they establish similarities in the structure of organisms, their biochemical reactions, reproduction characteristics, or other properties that can be used to judge the developmental paths of a group from a common ancestor.

The evolutionary form of groups of living organisms is divided into divergence, convergence, parallelism.

1. Divergence- divergence of characters within the species, which leads to the formation of new groupings of individuals. The more living organisms differ in structure, mode of existence, the more they diverge into more diverse spaces. Usually one area or area is occupied by animals with the same need for quality and food supply. After a certain time, when the food supply runs out, the animals are forced to change their habitat, move to new places. If animals with different needs for environmental conditions live in the same territory, then competition between them weakens. So, C. Darwin determined that in nature on a plot of 1 m2 there are up to 20 plant species belonging to 18 genera and 8 families. In the process of divergence, branches of a tree of several forms diverge from the nascent population. For example, we can name seven species of deer that formed as a result of divergence: sika deer, maral, reindeer, elk, roe deer, fallow deer, musk deer (Fig. 37).

Rice. 37. Variety of deer species resulting from divergence: 1 - sika deer; 2 - deer; 3 - fallow deer; 4 - reindeer; 5 - elk; 6" - roe deer; 7 - musk deer

Under the influence of natural selection in an endless series of generations, some forms survive, others die out. The processes of extinction and divergence are closely related. The most divergent forms have great opportunities leave fertile offspring and survive in the process of natural selection, since they compete less with each other than intermediate ones, which gradually thin out and die out.

As a result of divergence, a population of one species is subdivided into subspecies. A subspecies formed under the influence of natural selection, according to the signs of hereditary change, turns into a species.

2. Convergence- the acquisition of similar traits in different, unrelated groups. For example, sharks (class of fish), ichthyosaurs (class of reptiles), dolphins (class of mammals) have similar body shapes. This is due to the fact that they have the same habitat (water) and living conditions. Chameleon and climbing agama, belonging to different suborders, are outwardly very similar. The similarity of various systematic groups is due to life in a similar habitat. Airborne organisms have wings. The wings of a bird and a bat are modified forelimbs, and the wings of a butterfly are outgrowths of the body. The phenomenon of convergence is widespread in the animal kingdom.

3. Parallelism(Greek parallelos - "walking side by side") - the evolutionary development of genetically close groups, which consists in the independent acquisition of similar structural features by them based on the characteristics inherited from common ancestors. Parallelism is widespread among various groups of organisms in the course of their historical development(phylogenesis).

For example, adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle in the evolution of pinnipeds developed in three directions. In cetaceans and pinnipeds (walruses, eared and real seals), as a result of the transition to an aquatic lifestyle, independently of each other, an adaptation to water appeared - flippers. The transformation of the front wings in many groups of winged insects into elytra, the development of signs of amphibians in lobe-finned fish, the appearance of signs of mammals in animal-toothed lizards, etc. The similarity in parallelism indicates the unity of the origin of organisms and the presence of similar conditions of existence.

Evolution is an irreversible process. In every organism adapted to new conditions, the altered organ disappears. Returning to its former habitat, the disappeared organ is not restored. Even Ch. Darwin wrote about the irreversibility of evolution: "Even if the habitat is completely repeated, then the species can never return to its previous state." For example, dolphins, whales never become fish. During the transition of terrestrial animals into the aquatic environment, the limbs change convergently - while convergence is involved only in the change external structure organs.

In the internal structure of the fins of a dolphin, a whale, signs of a five-fingered limb of mammals are preserved. Since the mutation leads to the renewal of the gene pool of the population, it never repeats the gene pool of the previous generation. So, if at some stage reptiles arose from primitive amphibians, then reptiles cannot again give rise to amphibians.

On the stem of an evergreen shrub - needles there are shiny thick leaves. In fact, these are modified branches. True scaly leaves are located in the central part of these modified stems. In early spring flowers appear from the sinus of the scales, from which fruits develop later.

The leaves of the butcher's needle disappeared in antiquity, in the process of adapting to drought. Then, when they returned to the aquatic environment, instead of leaves, they had branches that looked like leaves.

Heterogeneity of evolution. For hundreds of millions of years on Earth, they exist in an unchanged form. sabertail, lobe-finned fish, tuatara. They are called "living fossils". However, some plants and animals change rapidly. For example, in the Philippines and Australia, several new genera of rodents appeared over 800 thousand years. In approximately 20 million years, 240 species of crayfish belonging to 34 new genera arose in Baikal. The pace of evolution is not determined by astronomical time. The emergence of a new species is determined by the required number of generations and fitness.

The rate of evolution decreases and slows down in the same stable environmental conditions (deep oceans, cave waters). On islands where there are few predators, natural selection is very slow. Conversely, where there is intense selection, evolution also proceeds faster. For example, in the 1930s a poisonous drug (DDT) was used against pests. Within a few years, drug-resistant forms appeared and quickly spread on Earth. The widespread use of antibiotics - penicillin, streptomycin, gramicidin - in the 40-50s of the XX century. led to the emergence of resistant forms of microorganisms.
