Framing
In 1835, Charles Darwin, an English naturalist, arived on the Galapagos Islands aboatttthe HMS Beagle Studying
{he local finch population for five years, Darwin gathered evidence to support his theory of Evolution. Through
evolution, populations vary and biological variations are inheritable. Only those organisms with the most favorable
characteristies are better suited to survive and reproduce which is also known as natural selection or "survival of the
fittest". Adaptations can lead to speciation, the formation of new species,
Learning Target: I can construct evidence-based claims in support of evolution,
1. Describe the Theory of Evolution in your own words and cite five pieces of evidence that scientists have
identified as support for the Theory of Evolution.

7. Directions; Read the passage below first, view the two figures, and then respond to the questions on the next page.
The ability of organisms to blend into their surrounding environment can help species survive. However, the opposite can
happen too. When an organism stands out against their surrounding environment it can lead to predation. The peppered moth,
Biston betularia, isa classic example used in evolution. Once the Industrial Revolution began in England between the late 1700s
and mid-1800s trees became covered in soot due to the burning of coal becoming darker in color. Darker colored moths became
more suecessful and survived due to thei ability to be camouflaged against the bark. Birds did not prey upon as many darker
moths as lighter moths, and the darker genes were passed onto the next generation.
Figure 2. Lighter colored moths agsinst a darker ree are more likely to be predated as opposed ta darker colored moths against darker bark,mestions: oatel
Ta) After reading the passage on the previous page, and viewing figures (1) and (2), explain how the peppered
moth is a classic example of natural selection.

gure 1. Phylogenetic tree representing the evolutionary relatedness among bear
populations based on mitochondrial DNA sequence comparisons
1) Polar bears are highly adapted for life around the North Pole. Brown bears, black bears, and pandas are found in
‘warmer environments. Researchers collected complete mitochondrial DNA sequences from several populations of
bears and constructed a phylogenetic tree to represent their relatedness (figure 1).
2) A researcher studying adaptation in bears sequenced the nuclear gene encoding a lysosomal
trafficking protein (LYST) in polar bears, brown bears, black bears, and panda bears. There are seven inferred amino
acid substitutions that are found only in polar bears, Mutations that cause similar
substitutions in the human LYST protein are associated with Chediak-Higashi syndrome, an autosomal recessive
condition in which pigment is absent from the hair and eyes. The researcher used
the inferred amino acid sequences to build the distance matrix shown in Table 1

1 Choose either a or b, and either ¢ or d to answer:
(a) Use the phylogenetic tree in Figure 1 to estimate the age in hundreds of thousands of years of the most
recent common ancestor of all brown bears. Identify the population of brown bears to which polar bears are
most closely related based on the mitochondrial DNA sequence comparison. Identify wo populations
whose positions could be switched without affecting the relationships illustrated in the phylogenetic tree.
(b) Construet a cladogram on the template to represent a model of the evolutionary relatedness among the bear
species based on the differences in LYST protein sequences (Table 1). Cirele the position on the cladogram
that represents the out-group
(c) A student claims that mitochondrial DNA sequence comparisons provide a more accurate phylogeny of bear
species than do LYST protein sequence comparisons. Provide ONE piece of reasoning to support the
student's claim.
(d) A researcher genetically engineers a mouse strain by deleting the mouse ys? gene and replacing it with the
polar bear {vst gene. Predict the most likely difference in phenotype of the transgenic mouse strain
compared to the wild-type mouse strain. Justify your prediction,
