where scientists review a paper looking at whether he had included proper controls, statistics, considered work of other scientists and his conclusions validity

Why?
freedom to be critical without causing offense
3 of 22
What is the first piece of evidence to support evolution?
Molecular phenology
4 of 22
What is molecular phenology?
test from DNA or the molecules that it codes for ie: mRNA and proteins (proteonoics)
5 of 22
What is DNA hybridisation?
DNA getting gently heated, it seperates into its component strands as the hydrogen bonds between the base pairs break
6 of 22
What DNA makes hybrid DNA?
Chimpanee and human DNA,
7 of 22
What is different about them?
They have different base sequences so they will not all pair up
8 of 22
What will split up at lower temperatures?
Hybrid DNA
9 of 22
What does this tell about evolution?
The more similar the base sequences of the two species the better they will stick together
10 of 22
What does this show?
How closely related they are through evolution
11 of 22
What is DNA profiling?
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sequences
12 of 22
what does this produce?
a series of different sized DNA fragments, which can be visualised as a series of bands or peaks on a DNA profile
13 of 22
What happens if mutations have occured in some of these DNA sequences?
the enzymes will not cut the DNA
14 of 22
What does the difference in fragment length produce?
information about the genetic difference between individuals and species
15 of 22
What is DNa and protein sequencing?
By comparing the sequence of bases in DNA or the amino acid sequence in proteins or different species it is possible to determin how closely related organisms are in evolutionary terms
16 of 22
What if they have few differences in DNA?
they evolved from a common ancestor
17 of 22
What is the first stage of natural selection?
There is variation in a species
18 of 22
What happens next?
Not all organisms born will survive, natural selection is the idea that the best adapted individuals will be the ones most likely to survive and reproduce
19 of 22
What do the animals that survive pass on?
their alleles
20 of 22
What happens over time?
frequency of the fitter allele increases within the population
21 of 22
What happens in speciation?
two pockets of the same species become isolated, they present different selective pressures and over many generations form two new species that cant breed to form fertile offspring
