Evidence for evolution
Evidence for evolution
1 of 29
What has provide evidence for evolution?
Fossils and antibiotic resistance in bacteria
2 of 29
What is antibiotic resistant bacteria?
Mutations produce antibiotic resistant strains which can spread
3 of 29
What is the evidence for evolution for antibiotic resistant bacteria?
Resistant strains are not killed, Strain survives and reproduces and People have no immunity to strain and treatment is ineffective
4 of 29
What evidence is available for the theory of evolution?
Darwin's theory-has been shown that characteristics are passed on to offspring in genes
5 of 29
Is the theory of evolution accepted?
Yes
6 of 29
Fossils
Fossils
7 of 29
What is a fossil?
‘Remains’ of ancient organisms which are found in rocks
8 of 29
How may fossil fuels be formed (1)?
From parts of organism that have not decayed as necessary conditions are absent
9 of 29
How may fossil fuels be formed (2)?
When parts of the organism replaced by minerals as they decay
10 of 29
How may fossil fuels be formed (3)?
As preserved traces of organisms such as footprints, burrows and rootlet traces
11 of 29
What were early forms of life?
Soft bodied- few races left behind and have been destroyed by geological activity
12 of 29
What did the destroyed traces mean?
That scientist cannot be certain about how life began
13 of 29
What can fossil tell scientist?
How much or how little different organisms have changed over time
14 of 29
Extinction
Extinction
15 of 29
What is extinction?
When no members of a species survive
16 of 29
Give factors that contribute to the extinction of a species:
Extreme geological events, disease, climate change, habitat destruction, hunting by humans
17 of 29
Resistant bacteria
Resistant bacteria
18 of 29
Why can bacteria produce rapidly?
Because they reproduce at a fast rate
19 of 29
What is resistant to antibiotic?
MRSA
20 of 29
Give 1 way to reduce the rate of development of antibiotic resistant strains:
Doctors should not prescribe antibiotics inappropriately
21 of 29
The development of new antibiotics is...
costly and slow
22 of 29
Classification of living organisms
Classification of living organisms
23 of 29
What did Carl Linnaeus do?
Classified living things
24 of 29
In Carl Linnaeus kingdoms what are organisms named by?
The binomial system of genus and species
25 of 29
Kingdom:
Animalia
26 of 29
Due to improvements...
in microscopes, and the understanding of biochemical processes, new models of classification were propose
27 of 29
What did Carl Woese develop?
3 domain based on chemical analysis
28 of 29
In Carl Woese system what were organism divided into?
Archaea (primitive bacteria), true bacteria, eukaryota
