Concept called gradualism. Not hypothesis, as it has been tested and confirmed, especially among the " little shellies. "

That theory is called punctuated equilibrium.
The hypothesis that the evolution of different species occurs?
natural selection
What hypothesis proposes that evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
This is the concept of gradualism.
What is the hypothesis that evolution occurs with periods of drastic change folled by periods of very little change?
punctuated equilibrium
What is it called when the evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
This is the concept of gradualism.
What is it called when random evolution that occurs in a small separate subpopulation?
Founder effect
The theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily is called?
Darwin's classic theory of evolution assumed that evolution is a slow, contunuous process, by which new species evolve and emerge. This is referred to at times as "organic evolution" and the "synthetic theory of evolution", or just the Darwinian theory of evolution. A newer theory, proposed originally by Niles Eldridge and Stephen Jay Gould is known as "punctuated equilibria", a model in which the evloution of new species occurs only periodically, in relatively rapid spurts. See "Time Frames the Rethinking of Darwinian Evolution and the Theory of Punctuated Equilibraia, Simon & Schuster, 1985"AnswerThe slow, constant process has also been called "gradualism."
The smallest unit in which evolution occurs is?
The smallest unit in which evolution occurs is a population.
What is it called when evolution that occurs as a result of chance events like catastrophe?
genetic drift
What is the acceleration that occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in circular motion called?
It's called 'centripetal acceleration', whether or not the speed is constant or the path circular.
What is the ability of an organism to change internally and externally in relation to its environment?
The process where organisms evolve through time is called evolution. This natural phenomenon occurs as a result of changes in the environment.
