How Biologists Proved Evolution In the Lab

[@SeaMushroom98]

I was confused what was up with this video, because my class did a similar lab in high school around 2013. Then I did some googling and figured out that the lab we did was designed by Dr. Ratcliff, and our class was one of the first to try it. It was kind of amazing getting to do actual biology when I was only 15, though I remember the frustration of not always getting the results we were hoping to get through the lab.

[@spamm0145]

I disagree with the problem of how the first DNA came into existence, it is made from proteins and you need DNA to make proteins. Mainstream science regarding evolution is all about interpreting data to fit a presupposed paradigm and rejecting anything else regardless of evidence. Lets ignore the fact a simple protein folding by chance requires a greater number than all of the molecules in the entire cosmos. Lets pretend that molecules without a mind are responsible for the most complex code ever discovered, so complex it took 2,800 scientists 13 years to map a human genome. Lets use our imaginations to explain away the fact that the human brain is the most complex object ever discovered and attribute its unbelievably complex design to dumb molecules that cannot 'think'. Lets ignore thousands of years of OBSERVATION that the source of complexity and information always leads to an intelligent agent so we can ascribe all the complexity and information we see in every living organism to dumb molecules that cannot 'think' and have no purpose or intent but managed to create the immense biological complexity we see in our world. Whilst we are at it, we can pretend that all the symbiosis between living things that is an absolute necessity within the complex ecosystem evolved at the exact same time all over the world so that life could be sustained and not suddenly disappear after billions of years of gradual imaginary change. Lets just say we got lucky and every male and female of each species evolved at the exact same time and in the exact same location so as not to pose a problem of instant extinction. Some of us do actually know why we disagree with the absurdity of Narnia evolution. If your mother believes in God, she is much wiser than you and you should desist in trying to convince her of the evolutionary lie.

[@JohnDickerman]

Although this research is interesting, it needs to be interpreted carefully. Unicellular does not always mean primitive. Far from being the "simple" organisms many people (including some biochemists who should know better) imagine them to be, yeasts are part of a huge group of complex fungi and appear to have become unicellular by evolving from ancient filamentous species. Therefore this experiment could simply be reactivating dormant ancestral genes, roughly analogous to breeding humans with larger appendixes or fur. It is at best a crude model for how multicellularity arose in the first place.

@@jojobizarrelivingstone594 Fossils of unicellular organisms have been found, but they are, unsurprisingly, rare and hard to study. Most research uses comparative methods of modern forms, looking at both structural and molecular characteristics. In the case of yeast, they produce some sophisticated - if microscopic - reproductive structures that tend to be made of 4-8 cells, something larger fungi also do but protozoa do not.

[@kindlin]

I agree that yeast is probably a bit too close of an organism to say "hey it's clumping, that's cool!" but they went a step further and saw not only clumping, but also specialization, and even an early form of respiration. So yes, they are definitely already a complex unicellular organism, but when under heavy external pressures, showed actual evolution (as in hereditary, survival of the fittest, etc.), which I find facinating.

They're two different questions, though, that aren't much related to each other. Biological evolution is what happened after life began, and life is what happened before biological evolution began.

[@philipadams4343]

Pretty fascinating stuff. While the level of cell differentiation has a long way to go to create entirely novel cell types, I could see how this behavior in yeast might represent an intermediate step of some kind. Of course, new organisms require new cell types with new functionality, which means there needs to be new genetic information. And once again, the critical ingredient in these experiments is applied intelligence. Still, one cannot ignore these results nor the implications for chemical evolution. As for whether scientists have proven evolution in the lab, I think not - or at least, not yet.

The famous Tardigrade can survive extreme climates and temperatures, enabling it's survival between planets, between planetary systems. Able to survive mass extinction, able to survive long duration without sustenance. The more I learn about life on small scales, the more it becomes obvious to me that yes, life originated here, elsewhere, and life has also come here from elsewhere, likely capable of coming from here to elsewhere too.

How did DNA evolve?

[@thunderred5263]

Still a mystry but it probably evolded from amino acids and rna

[@whatabouttheearth]

2 hypotheses I know of are the RNA World Hypothesis and rhe Metabolic Hypothesis, that if I'm not mistaken Nick Lane advocates. I don't know much at all about this stuff or abiogenesis But RNA makes DNA, and RNA makes RNA from RNA so its a little weird

[@kandismueller7716]

Do we still need proof? Evolution has always seemed self-evident to me.

[@azv343]

It's been proven already for over a century

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

No. NO Scientific idea is EVER PROVEN! This is just MORE good evidence that evolution is TRUE! And no PROOF of evolution either. Scientific ideas will NEVER be "Proven". They just become more and more correct. There will ALWAYS BE the possibility that some new discovery just will NOT fit the model that we have. So that tiny bit of "doubt" is always left open. The problem with Creatards is that their book to TRUE - A Priori! No questions to be asked! You can't fight that because it is untestable. Which is the antithesis of good science. THEY say that science is dogmatic, but that is their strawman approach. Just keep shutting them down.

0:08 okay explain the actual chemistry involved to go from dead materials to a living cell. Use what the earth could have used. How did it overcome the mass transit problem, the Leventhal 1.0 as well as Leventhal 2.0 problem?

[@drsatan9617]

That's not covered by evolution That's abiogenesis which is a completely seperate theory Even if it turned out that life formed by magic that would have no bearing on evolution whatsoever

[@markoconnell804]

@@drsatan9617 over and over again when scientist have previously stated proof of evolution it has always been found that the animal which was to show evolution did not. The change was always in the DNA of the animal all along. It was simply adaptation brought on by environmental conditions. It was a feature the ancestors of the animal already possessed.

[@markoconnell804]

@@drsatan9617 next is the unabridged gap between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Proteins found in all eukaryotic cells did not first come from prokaryotic cells. That’s why it’s called a protein orchard. Not explained as no process shows any evolutionary tracked linking them. This is another over glaring problem that is unresolved and purposely ignored/brushed off. Even Aron Ra has stated this.

Random: I wish we could stop being paranoid & support scientific research around CRISPR. We can learn so much about our genetic material. Find which things do what. Could learn how to improve the ways our bodies function. Help treat health issues, diseases, our bodies ability to heal, fatigue, the list goes on.. What matters most, is if we can approach this new branch of science with genuine curiosity and motivation. This type of science could have amazing impacts in the medical field and our understanding of biology as a whole. Could greatly improve people's quality of life. Treat health conditions. I really hope we drop the paranoia scare tactics that are holding us back from progression..

How did olives 🫒 and Avocados 🥑 evolve? They both produce hundreds of pounds of fat every summer, yet how many plants produce large amounts of fat, not many. The avocados 🥑 metabolism is rather strange in photosynthesis it can produce up to 15% D-mannoheptulose a 7 carbon sugar that causes diabetes in mammals.

Yes, it's on the Georgia Tech website but it was also published in Nature. I'd post a link but KZbin doesn't like that. Google it with Georgia Tech and you'll find it.

[@NoWay1969]

Sounds like 🍺 is the basis for all life. I've suspected this throughout adulthood.

[@Rene-uz3eb]

Sounds like that's how any primitive reproduction might start out, growth and dissolving elements to break off pieces. So multicellular might teach us what happened before cellular life

[@MrMastadox]

still strange that the example of a selection pressure mechanism is a multicellular organism eating the non clustered ones. That defeats the whole idea about how multicellular evolved in the first place, There were no multicellular predators to provide selection.

[@Giga._.Gex.]

the predators where single celled organisms too

[@DartNoobo]

Ok, so can anyone explain this to me? As I understand this experiment, it consists of following steps. 1. Take a sampe of yeast cells, and make sure some of them know how to form groups. 2. Separate groups of yeast cells, so that only group behaviour remains. 3. Make some changes to the environment so that these groups change some qualities ( form larger groups, change the thinckness of the cellular wall etc.) 4. Claim evolution. Did I miss anything? There was a reference to proto regulatory systems, but there was no explanation as to how they differ from the normal yeast behaviour. So, if yeast cell is able to remove waste products from its surroundings, then a group would do the same, but more effectively, right?

[@nobody.of.importance]

You got everything except step 4 right. If you're honestly wanting to know the importance of this, I'm gonna need confirmation before I put effort into an explanation, but if not, well suffice it to say that you don't know what evolution actually is.

[@DartNoobo]

@@nobody.of.importance evolution is an umbrella term under witch you generallyplace whatever is convenient at the moment. What I mean by evolution and what is actually the most important definition is development of new genetic information. Without it there is no new body plans and new functions, only adaptations. So if by evolution you mean ANY change, then don't bother.
