A: Homologous B: Outgroup C: Matrix D: Phylogenetic |
The 4 Basic Steps in constructing a family tree 1. Identify ____A____ characters 2. __B__ comparison 3. Code the characters and construct a __C__ 4. Group by shared, derived characteristics: analyze to produce a ___D___ hypothesis |
|
Character |
Observable trait of an organism - May be morphological, physiological, behavioral, molecular, or ecological - May be passed on from ancestor to descendant either unmodified or modified |
|
Derived Ancestral |
2 Types of Characters |
|
Derived Character |
- New or descendant character state, considered modified - Shared ones are used to infer phylogenetic relationships |
|
Ancestral Character |
- Old or primitive character state, considered unmodified - Provide no information in resolving phylogenetic relationships within the group, but link them since they are common to all |
|
1. Ingroup is monophyletic (=/= Outgroup) 2. Homologous characters found in outgroup and ingroup is considered ancestral character for ingroup |
2 Assumptions of Outgroup comparison |
|
Cladistics |
- Method of deriving possible family trees from a set of specimens - Works by measuring the states of a selected set of characters |
|
Fewest |
Phylogenetic tree showing the (fewest/most) changes in characters is the most likely tree |
|
NOT BE |
Characters should (be/not be) obvious to the naked eye to be useful for discovering phylogeny |
|
1. More 2. Parsimony 3. Open |
The __1___ characters used, the more reliable the results. The cladistic approach assumes __2__, although nature may not always be. IT is an objective approach to constructing trees, devoid of biases. It is an __3__ process, the raw data which yielded the results are always visible. |
|
Frequencies
|
If there are 2 alleles at a locus, p and q are used to represent? |
|
p + q = 1 [Allele Frequency] p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 [Genotype Frequency] |

|

|
1. Microevolution 2. Random 3. Natural Selection 4. Genetic Drift 5. Gene flow |

|
Population |
- Group of interbreeding individuals located in the same area and separated physically from other populations of the same species |
|
Gene pool |
- Genotype of a population - Consists of all of the alleles presents for all of the genes found in the species in the population members |
|
Evolutionary Change |
- Process of change in gene frequency that only occurs when certain conditions within a population are violated, or else genetic equilibrium will be maintained - Occurs at the level of the population, not individual |
|
1. Mutation must not occur 2. Migration must not occur in the population 3. Population size must be large 4. Survival and reproductive success of population members must be random and independent of their genotypes |
4 Hardy-Weinberg conditions |
|
Genetic fixation |
- Condition in which genes are represented by only one of two or more possible alleles and many individuals are homozygous for many genes - Characteristic of small populations |
|
Genetic Drift |
- Changes in alleles frequencies in small populations due to chance events |
|
Natural Selection |
- Nonrandom survival and reproduction of population members, is the major cause of evolutionary change in most populations - Works through organism's environment which exerts specific selection pressures that favor certain individuals and act against others, based on their phenotypes |

|
Clade |
a group of organisms believed to have evolved from a common ancestor, according to the principles of cladistics |
|
Outgroup |
a group of organisms not belonging to the group whose evolutionary relationships are being investigated. |
|
Monophyletic |
(of a group of organisms) descended from a common evolutionary ancestor or ancestral group, especially one not shared with any other group |
|
Character State |
The particular form or value that is manifested by a variable character in a specific individual or taxon |
|
Homologous Characters |
characters in different organisms that are similar because they were inherited from a common ancestor that also had that character. Ex: four limbs of tetrapods. Birds, bats, mice, and crocodiles all have four limbs. |
|
Analogous Characters |
have separate evolutionary origins, but are superficially similar because they have both experienced natural selection that shaped them to play a key role in flight; result of convergent evolution Ex: Bird and bat wings |
|
Parsimony principle |
basic to all science and tells us to choose the simplest scientific explanation that fits the evidence. In terms of tree-building, that means that, all other things being equal, the best hypothesis is the one that requires the fewest evolutionary changes |
|
Gene Flow (Migration) |
- Consists of the movement of alleles among populations and introduces new alleles (diversity) - Can be transferred through the movement of fertile individuals or gametes (ex: pollen) - Tends to reduce differences between populations over time |
|
Genetic Drift |
- Unpredictable mechanism, RANDOM fluctuations - Significant in smaller populations - Takes away allele frequencies and thus reduces genetic variation |
|
Natural Selection |
- Involves both chance and "sorting"- Consistently results in adaptive evolution (non-random) - Does not introduce variations, sorts random variations into complex, harmonious structures- Ex: Eyeball |
|
Founder Effect |
- When a small population emigrates from a large parent population and becomes established in a different area, its gene pool may become significantly different than that of the parent population |
