Table of Contents: 01:11 - Goals for today 01:31 - What is evolution? 01:37 - Etymology: unfolding 02:54 - Animals engage in a struggle for existence; for resources, to avoid being eaten and to breed. Environmental factors influence organisms to develop new characteristics to ensure survival, thus transforming into new species. Animals that survive to breed can pass on their successful characteristics to offspring. 04:15 - Evidence for evolution 05:01 - Camels well-suited to deserts 06:32 - Deep similarity 07:35 - Diversity of life 07:58 - Fossils 08:46 - Darwin’s insights 09:04 - Darwin’s hypotheses 09:15 - Common descent 09:50 - “Therefore, I should infer from analogy that probably all the organic beings which have ever lived on this earth have descended from some one primordial form, into which life was first breathed” 10:10 - 10:57 - Descent with modification 11:20 - Descent with modification 12:10 - 12:33 - Observations for natural selection 13:35 - Transmissable from parent to offspring. 14:17 - 15:46 - Natural selection 16:52 - Antibiotic resistance 17:08 - Antibiotic resistance 17:24 - Antibiotic resistance 17:32 - Antibiotic resistance 17:39 - 18:37 - Population thinking 19:36 - Levels of biological organization 20:19 - Change in a population over time. 20:28 - Study of inheritance 20:40 - Study of heredity; variation of characteristics that are passed from one generation to the next. 20:51 - Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) 22:00 - 22:41 - 23:27 - Inheritance of discrete characters via genes that are independently expressed. 23:53 - Genotypes 24:34 - Molecular unit of heredity. 25:49 - Genes, alleles, and loci 27:01 - Change in allele frequency between generations. 27:24 - Change in a population over time. 27:36 - 29:31 - Evolutionary theory is also evolving 30:37 - evolution ≠ survival of the fittest 30:52 - Evolution explains thediversity of life 31:18 - Resources 31:24 - Popular science 32:23 - 32:37 - 32:58 - What is evolution? 33:04 - What are some of the important components of evolution?
