1.7 Evolution
Explains Unity & Diversity of Life
1859, __________ __________ published On the
Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection
✶ In
✶ The
book accomplished two
things
– – Presented evidence to support the
idea of evolution
Proposed a mechanism for
evolution called ______________
____________
Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
14
✶ Natural
selection is
an editing process
– – – Individuals within a
_____________ have
inherited variations
Population exposed to
“outside” factors that
favor reproductive
success of some
individuals over others
Over time, this results in
a change in the
________________ =
biological evolution
(1) Population with varied inherited traits
(2) Elimination of individuals with certain traits
(3) Reproduction of survivors

15
Evolution = “descent with modification”
✶ History

________ of tree are current living species, twigs and
limbs are lines of descent, branches are
______________ ____________
Living species are descendants of ancestral species

THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE
1.8 Scientific Inquiry Asks and Answers Questions
About Nature
∗ 2 approaches to understand
natural causes for natural
events
– – Inductive reasoning- draw
general conclusions from
many observations
____________ reasoningcome up with ways to test a
hypothesis and see if results
support the hypothesis
Science: A method of inquiry
17
In Science, Hypothesis & Theory are Different
✶ Hypothesis
- a proposed explanation for a set of
observations
✶ Theory
− - an explanatory idea that is
1) ________ in scope 2) Supported by a large body of
____________ and 3) Widely ___________
What is an example of a hypothesis, and a theory
✶ Science
seeks natural causes for natural events
– Limits scope to those structures/processes that
– Can be _________________ and ___________________

1.9
Scientists Form and Test Hypotheses
✶ Case
– ✶ A
study
Flashlight failure
____________ that
has been tested and
not falsified is
tentatively accepted
Observations
Question
Hypothesis # 1:
Dead batteries
Hypothesis # 2:
Burnt-out bulb
Prediction:
Replacing batteries
will fix problem
Prediction:
Replacing bulb
will fix problem
Test prediction
Test falsifies hypothesis
Test prediction
Test does not falsify hypothesis

Scientists Conduct Controlled Experiments
✶ Each
factor that might influence a process is a
variable
– To evaluate hypotheses about one variable, all other
variables must be kept constant
experimental group has one variable
altered. In the ____________ group, that
variable is not altered
✶ The
– All other aspects the two groups are identical
✶ Controls are used to make the results of an
____________ meaningful
20
✶ Case
study: Spider mimicry
Zebra spider and
snowberry fly.
Pounce rate (% of
trials in which spider
jumped on fly)
What is the hypothesis?
What do these results tell
you about the hypothesis?
Control group
(untreated flies)
Experimental group
(wing markings masked)
21
