EXPLAIN -Developing mastery (leads
to Formative Assessment 3)
Complete the concept map and reflect this statement “When a Covid-19 Virus replicates or makes copies
of itself, it sometimes changes a little bit. These changes are called mutations. A virus with one or several
new mutations is referred to as a variant of the original virus.”
Activity 4
Compare Lamarckian vs. Darwinian Evolution through illustration. You may use different animals of your
interest. (Please see the Rubrics attached)
Evolution
It refers to a change over time and the process by which modern organisms have descended
from ancient organisms. Evolution is the change in genetic composition of a population over time resulting
from differential reproduction of individuals. It is the process by which different living organisms diversified
from earlier forms during history.
Scientists who contributed to the historical developments of evolutionary thoughts:
1. Charles Darwin
The development of modern concept of evolution can be traced on his worked, On the Origin of Species,
however, the first editions of his book never actually used evolution but rather He used the phrase
“descent with modification”. In Darwin’s theory, variation is the result of pre-existing genetic differences
among individuals. This genetically-based variation leads to evolutionary change.
Darwin proposed a Theory of Natural Selection as the mechanism of evolution.
2. Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck
Lamarck used the theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics, a widely-held belief at the time, to
explain change in organisms.
Lamarck’s Organic Theory of Development stated that organisms are shaped by their environment.
Change is goal-directed, an organisms have an internal drive to become more and more complex. Use
and disuse of parts causes change that is passed on from generation to generation.
3. Alfred Russel Wallace
Developed some of his most important ideas about natural selection. Wallace had come to the conclusion
that living things evolve: animals evolve by adapting to their environment. He realized that species evolved
because fittest individuals survived and reproduced passing their advantageous characters.
4. Thomas Malthus
Helped inspire Darwin to refine natural selection by stating a reason for meaningful competition
between members of the same species. He believed that populations grow geometrically while resources
slowly increase or not at all, leading to competition
5. Carolus Linnaeus
He was known as the Father of Modern Taxonomy. He was also the first to frame principles for defining
natural genera and species of organisms and to create a uniform system for naming them, known as
binomial nomenclature.
Linnaeus' thoughts on evolution are very different from the modern day theories. He believed that species
were immutable. Even though Linnaeus believed in immutability, he did believe that the creation of new
species was possible, but that it is limited.
Mechanisms of Evolutionary Changes
Mechanisms of evolutionary changes include genetic drift, migration or gene flow, mutation,
natural selection and nonrandom mating.
Genetic drift is a change in the gene pool of a population due to chance. Examples of genetic drift are
bottleneck effect and founder effect. Bottleneck effect takes place when population decreases due to
various environmental factors such as fires, earthquakes and floods. The founder effect happens when a
small population of organisms separates from the larger group to invade a new area.
Gene flow is described as the movement of genes from one population to another. When this happens,
there is a tendency to increase the gene diversity in the populations.
Mutation occurs when there is a change in the genetic makeup caused by environmental stressors. This
process expands diversity of organisms.
Natural selection explains the difference in survival of individual and reproduce in a particular
environment.
Nonrandom mating increases the frequency of animal with desirable traits. It causes evolution because it
intrudes the natural pool of gene variations.

evolution. (Use numbers 1 to 5)
Activity 8
Match column A with column B. Write the letter of your choice.
Recapping the concepts of the process of evolution
1. What is evolution?
2. Who were contributed to the historical developments of evolutionary thoughts?
3. What are the mechanisms of evolutionary changes? How does it affects evolution?
4. How does Lamarckian and Darwinian Evolution vary?
Evolution is a process that results in changes in the genetic material of a population over time.
Evolution reflects the adaptations of organisms to their changing environments and can result in altered
genes, novel traits, and new species. Evolutionary processes depend on both changes in genetic
variability and changes in allele frequencies over time.
One mechanism that drives evolution is natural selection, which is a process that increases the
frequency of advantageous alleles in a population. Natural selection results in organisms that are more
likely to survive and reproduce. Another driving force behind evolution is genetic drift, which describes
random fluctuations in allele frequencies in a population. Eventually, genetic drift can cause a
subpopulation to become genetically distinct from its original population. Indeed, over a long period of
time, genetic drift and the accumulation of other genetic changes can result in speciation, which is the
evolution of a new species.
