Evolutionary Relationships

<p>Humans have been attempting to properly classify living things since Aristotle made the first attempt during the 4<sup>th</sup> century BC. Aristotle&#8217;s system was improved upon during the Renaissance and then, subsequently, by Carolus Linnaeus in the mid 1700&#8217;s. These more formal classification and organization systems grouped species by their physical similarity to one another. For example, all vertebrates have a backbone, but invertebrates do not. Traits like the backbone are called synapomorphies, which are traits that are shared by a group of organisms, presumably because they were derived from a common ancestor. As we will explore, this method has been shown to have limitations and has more recently been amended to include genetic analysis. Still, scientists construct trees called dendrograms to create a visual representation of how species are related to one another and share common ancestors. These dendrograms can aid in our understanding of the evolutionary processes that drive these relationships. Genetic comparisons have added an important tool guiding the analysis of evolutionary relationships.</p>
<h4>Types of Dendrogram</h4>
<p>A type of dendrogram, called a cladogram, depicts the hypothetical genealogical relationships between species with the tips (or leaves) of the tree representing a species and the branches showing how species are related to each other. A slightly more complicated type of tree, called a phylogram, differs from a cladogram in that the branches leading to the species are of different lengths. The length of a branch in this type of tree represents the degree of change between species: the longer the branch, the more time since the species have diverged from a common ancestor. In both types of tree, the common ancestor of a group of species is indicated by a node, which is the point where a series of branches meet. Species that are more closely related to each other (most recently shared a common ancestor) will be located closest to the node. The two species that share a node are called a sister group<sup>1</sup>.</p>
<h4>Understanding Evolutionary Relationships using Genetic Data</h4>
<p>Historically, cladograms were constructed by comparing the morphology (physical structure) of organisms. This method is still practiced but the techniques have been modernized to include comparison of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequences between species. Using DNA for building trees has several advantages over relying solely on morphology, including being able to calculate an estimate of how long ago different species shared a common ancestor<sup>1</sup>. However, using DNA is not always feasible, especially when trees include extinct organisms. DNA is best found in soft tissues, which are not preserved during the fossilization process, and therefore it is uncommon for a DNA sample of an extinct species to be available.</p>
<p>DNA is passed on from parents to their offspring in hereditary units called genes. The nucleotide (A, G, C, and T) sequence of genes found in different species are frequently quite similar, likely due to their having come from a common ancestor. This fact allows researchers to align sequences from different species with one another to build the trees described above. Species with more similarity between their nucleotide sequences will be placed next to each other in a tree, and species with less sequence similarity will be placed further apart from each other.</p>
<p>Bioinformatics are the tools used by biologists to analyze large datasets using a combination of computer science, mathematical modeling, and statistics. One such tool is called BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool), which can be used to quickly search the entire genome of any species that is available in the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) database<sup>2</sup>. The NCBI database combines several different databases that hold different types of DNA sequence information. The process of a BLAST search includes complex computer algorithms, but basically, BLAST aligns sequences of each nucleotide base from a submitted DNA sequence (known as the <em>query</em> sequence) with sequences in the data base that most closely match it. The DNA sequences that are found will be listed in order of similarity to the sequence in question, and will therefore be from species closely related to the species containing the query gene. This comparison may or may not depict the actual evolutionary relationship between species because genes evolve at different rates. Additionally, genomes sometimes contain more than one instance of a similar sequence.</p>
<p>Comparison of DNA sequences of genes is valuable beyond consideration of evolutionary relationships. Frequently, genes are identified in model organisms, such as the fruit fly, <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>, or the mouse<sup>3</sup>. Integral to studying a gene, the function of its product is commonly identified and analyzed. If a researcher is interested in studying that function in a different organism (humans for example), BLAST or other bioinformatic tools can be used to find candidate genes based on their similarities to the genes of known function from model organisms.</p>
<p>Human genes can also be used as the starting point to find homologs in model organisms. In fact, human disease research depends heavily on this. Once a human gene of interest is identified, mice can be genetically manipulated to have the homologous gene disrupted, or &#8220;knocked out,&#8221; creating a model of the human disease that can be studied in order to understand and treat the disease. There are many of these mouse strains currently available. For example, there is a mouse model for human Cystic Fibrosis (CF) called the <em>Cftr</em> knockout mouse and another modeling atherosclerosis, called the <em>Apoe</em> knockout<sup>3</sup>.<br />

	<p>In this experiment, you will combine varying concentrations of aqueous HCl and sodium thiosulfate to make solid sulfur, which rapidly gathers into opaque yellow particles at a certain sulfur concentration. Since the reaction solution starts clear and colorless, you can easily tell when it reaches that concentration.</p>
	<p>You&#39;ll use the same test tube and total volume each time, so it will take the same amount of sulfur to make each solution completely opaque. Thus, you&#39;ll measure the reaction progress by timing how long that takes. You&#39;ll then use that data to estimate the reaction orders of the individual reactants and of the overall reaction.</p>
	<p>Before starting the lab, make a table listing the reactant concentrations, the time to solution opacity, and the solution temperature for the trials.</p>

	<p>We want to make sure that the reactions are all taking place at room temperature. You&#39;ll perform two benchmark trials, three trials with different sodium thiosulfate concentrations, and three trials with different HCl concentrations. You will vary the concentrations by diluting stock solutions of sodium thiosulfate and HCl, as shown in the following tables.</p>

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="2-5"><div class="lab-step">If white were dominant and the gene were sex-linked, we would see the exact opposite. So all of the flies would have white eyes. From your data, can you conclude from your first cross whether red or white is dominant?

You will select your prey using two different strategies, eyes-open and eyes-closed. For each of these strategies, you will perform four rounds consisting of 25 selections, alternating between two partners. After each round you will restore the population back to its original size using the proportions of phenotypes present after selection.

Further, different phenotypes may be positively selected in the alternate scenarios. The null hypothesis might be that different predation strategies will have no effect on the populations or phenotypes.

</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-7"><div class="lab-step">Once the segments are in the tray, separate them as best as possible without moving them too far from where they landed. As few segments as possible should be touching.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-8"><div class="lab-step">Have the first partner close their eyes. When given an audible signal by the second partner, the first should open their eyes and grab the first pipe cleaner they see from the tray as quickly as possible.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-9"><div class="lab-step">Set the removed pipe cleaner to the side.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-10"><div class="lab-step">Alternating partners, repeat this process a total of 25 times (steps 8 &#8211; 9).
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-11"><div class="lab-step">Count the remaining pipe cleaners by color and record this in the data collection table for Scenario 1. <a href="https://www.jove.com/CDNSource/lm/labs/23/Lab_23_Tables_1_and_2.xlsx" style="display:block;margin:20px;" target="__blank">Click Here to download Tables 1 and 2</a>
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-12"><div class="lab-step">Then, restore the population to 50 by adding one pipe cleaner of the same color for each of the remaining pipe cleaners. Hold these to the side until they are all gathered.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-13"><div class="lab-step">Then, sprinkle the pipe cleaners into the tray as previously described (steps 6-7). Repeat this process for three more rounds consisting of 25 selections each and record the counts for each of the rounds in the data collection table for Scenario 1.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-14"><div class="lab-step">Remove all pipe cleaners from the tray after the fourth round.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-15"><div class="lab-step">For Scenario 2, again count out 12 white, 12 black, and 26 gray pipe cleaner segments and sprinkle them randomly into the tray.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-16"><div class="lab-step">Follow the same protocol as in Scenario 1. However, when given the signal, the grabbing partner should keep their eyes closed. To aid in accuracy, it may help to position the hand near to the tray before grabbing.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-17"><div class="lab-step">Repeat this process 25 times, switching partner roles, and record the remaining pipe cleaner amounts in the data collection table for Scenario 2.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-18"><div class="lab-step">Then, restore the population to 50 based on that count. Do this for all four rounds. NOTE: In the second simulation, you will be using the eyes-open and eyes-closed predation strategies as previously described to select pipe cleaners of various lengths.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-19"><div class="lab-step">For Scenario 3, gather all 100 of the pipe cleaners that have been cut to varying lengths to represent different phenotypes.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-20"><div class="lab-step">One partner should hold all the pipe cleaners upright and loosely in one hand resting on the tabletop, such that the bottom end of each pipe cleaner rests against the tabletop.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-21"><div class="lab-step">Now, the partner that is not holding the pipe cleaners should close their eyes. When given an audible signal, the partner should open their eyes and grab the first pipe cleaner they see from their partner&#39;s hand.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-22"><div class="lab-step">Repeat this process 50 times (step 21). However, the partners should not switch roles during the round this time. The partner holding the pipe cleaners should always be the one giving the signal and never grabbing from the bunch.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-23"><div class="lab-step">After the first round consisting of 50 selections, count the remaining pipe cleaners by length. Then, record this information in the data collection table for scenario three. <a href="https://www.jove.com/CDNSource/lm/labs/23/Lab_23_Tables_3_and_4.xlsx" style="display:block;margin:20px;" target="__blank">Click Here to download Tables 3 and 4</a>
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-24"><div class="lab-step">Add one pipe cleaner of the same length as each of the remaining ones to restore the population to 100. This will likely require more pipe cleaners than were originally cut. Try to use scraps from the class to reduce waste.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-25"><div class="lab-step">Repeat this for three more rounds, alternating which partner holds or grabs each round.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-26"><div class="lab-step">To perform Scenario 4, gather the varied-length pipe cleaners in their original proportions.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-27"><div class="lab-step">Now repeat the grabbing process, as described in Scenario 3. However, only remove 30 pipe cleaners instead of 50.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-28"><div class="lab-step">Divide the count at the end of each round by two for each phenotype 4 inches or below, rounding fractions down.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-29"><div class="lab-step">Then, record these values in the data recording table for Scenario 4.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-30"><div class="lab-step">Use the relative proportions of the phenotypes in the final population to restore the population to 100. When restoring the population to 100, it may be necessary to calculate relative proportions of phenotypes.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-31"><div class="lab-step">Repeat this for three more rounds, again alternating holding and grabbing the pipe cleaners.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-32"><div class="lab-step">For each scenario calculate the survival for each phenotype, that is the proportion of the phenotype surviving.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-33"><div class="lab-step">Then, calculate the relative fitness, or w, between each round. As reproductive rate does not vary in this simulation, this should always be considered equal, or 1.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-34"><div class="lab-step">Also, calculate the selection coefficients for each phenotype.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-35"><div class="lab-step">Now, use the relative frequencies of each phenotype to create histograms with appropriately labeled axes for each scenario showing the population before any selection took place and then alongside these in a different color after four rounds of selection.

Note: Plants should appear green, not wilted, and not have damaged leaves. Experimental Hypothesis: The experimental hypothesis for this lab might be that the number of lead trichomes varies naturally, but the average number will increase over generations if only plants with the highest number of trichomes are interbred or decrease if those with the least are interbred. Null Hypothesis: The null hypothesis might be that the average number of trichomes will not change over subsequent generations after artificial selection.
