Evolution, the Core
Theme of Biology
3. Biology is the scientific study of life.
Properties of life include
1. Order—the highly ordered structure that typifies life,
2. Reproduction—the ability of organisms to reproduce
their own kind,
3. Growth and development—consistent growth and
development controlled by inherited DNA,
4. Energy processing—the use of chemical energy to power
an organism’s activities and chemical reactions,

4. 5. Response to the environment—an ability to
respond to environmental stimuli,
6. Regulation—an ability to control an organism’s
internal environment within limits that sustain
life, and
7. Evolutionary adaptation—adaptations evolve over
many generations as individuals with traits best
suited to their environments have greater
reproductive success and pass their traits to
offspring.

7. Cells are the level at which the properties of life
emerge.
A cell can
regulate its internal environment,
take in and use energy,
respond to its environment,
develop and maintain its complex organization, and
give rise to new cells.

8. All cells
are enclosed by a membrane that regulates the passage
of materials between the cell and its surroundings and
use DNA as their genetic information.

9. There are two basic types of cells.
1. Prokaryotic cells
were the first to evolve,
are simpler, and
are usually smaller than eukaryotic cells.
bacteria
2. Eukaryotic cells
contain membrane-enclosed organelles, including a nucleus
containing DNA, and
are found in plants, animals, and fungi.

11. Cells illustrate another theme in biology: the
correlation of structure and function.
Structure is related to function at all levels of
biological organization.

12. Living organisms interact with their
environments, which include other organisms and
physical (non-living) factors.
In most ecosystems
plants are the producers that provide the food,
consumers eat plants and other animals, and
decomposers act as recyclers, changing complex matter
into simpler mineral nutrients.

14. All cells have DNA, the chemical substance of genes.
Genes
are the unit of inheritance that transmits information
from parents to offspring,
are grouped into very long DNA molecules called
chromosomes, and
control the activities of a cell.

15. A species’ genes are coded in the sequences of the
four building blocks making up DNA’s double helix.
All forms of life use essentially the same code to
translate the information stored in DNA into proteins.
The diversity of life arises from differences in DNA
sequences.

16. Diversity is the hallmark of life.
Biologists have identified about 1.8 million species.
Estimates of the actual number of species ranges from
10 to 100 million.
Taxonomy names species and classifies them into a
system of broader groups.

17. The diversity of life can be arranged into three
domains.
1. Bacteria are the most diverse and
widespread prokaryotes.
2. Archaea are prokaryotes that often live in
Earth’s extreme environments.
3. Eukarya have eukaryotic cells and include
single-celled protists and
multicellular fungi, animals, and
plants.

19. The history of life, as documented by fossils, is a saga
of a changing Earth
billions of years old and
inhabited by an evolving cast of life forms.

20. In 1859, Charles Darwin published the book On the
Origin of Species by Means of Natural
Selection, which articulated two main points.
1. A large amount of evidence supports the idea of
evolution, that species living today are descendants of
ancestral species in what Darwin called ―descent with
modification.‖
2. Natural selection is a mechanism for evolution.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
21. Evolution is a core theme of biology.
Evolutionary theory is useful in
medicine
agriculture
forensics
Conservation
Human-caused environmental changes are powerful
selective forces that affect the evolution of many
species, including
antibiotic-resistant bacteria,
pesticide-resistant pests,
endangered species, and
increasing rates of extinction.

22. The word science is derived from a Latin
verb meaning ―to know.‖ Science is a way
of knowing.
Science is a process not a thing.

23. How is a theory different from a hypothesis? A
scientific theory is
much broader in scope than a hypothesis,
usually general enough to generate many
new, specific hypotheses, which can then
be tested, and
supported by a large and usually growing
body of evidence.

24. • General Stages of Scientific Investigation
1. Asking a Question
2. Collecting Information/Making
observations
3. Inferring and forming a hypothesis
4. Designing a controlled experiment to test
the hypothesis
5. Collecting/Analyzing Data (qualitative vs.
quantitative)
6. Drawing Conclusions
25. Inference and imagination can lead to a hypothesis.
If..then format
Example:
If artificial king snakes are placed in an environment
without coral snakes, then they will be attacked more
frequently than the artificial brown snakes.
26. Variables – factors that change
Independent – you manipulate (what you
deliberately change)
Dependent – change in response to the
independent variable (variable that is measured)
Control Group – used for comparison
Nothing is changed
27. Case Study
Scientists began with a set of observations and
generalizations
poisonous animals are brightly colored and
imposters resemble poisonous species but are actually
harmless.
They then tested the hypothesis that mimics benefit
because predators confuse them with the harmful
species.

28. The scientists conducted a controlled
experiment, comparing
an experimental group consisting of artificial king
snakes
a control group consisting of artificial brown snakes.
The groups differed only by one factor, the coloration
of the artificial snakes.
The data fit the key prediction of the mimicry
hypothesis.

30. Science is a social activity with most scientists
working in teams.
Scientists share information in many ways.
Science seeks natural causes for natural
phenomena.
The scope of science is limited to the study of
structures and processes that we can directly observe
and measure.

31. The graph below shows
the results of an
experiment in which mice
learned to run through a
maze.
1. State the hypothesis
that you think this
experiment tested.
2. Identify the variables
and control group.
3. What variables that
must have been kept
constant so as not to
affect the results
(validity).
4. Looking at the data
collected, does it
support the hypothesis?
Explain.
32. Many issues facing society are related to
biology. Most involve our expanding technology.
The basic goals of science and technology
differ.
The goal of science is to understand natural
phenomena.
The goal of technology is to apply scientific
knowledge for some specific purpose.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
33. Although their goals differ, science and
technology are interdependent.
Technological advances stem from scientific
research.
Research benefits from new technologies.
