What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the hypothesis that suggests that evolution occurs at a slow constant rate?
Others have said twice: it is called Punctuated Equilibrium.
What is the name of the hypothesis that evolution occurs at an irregular rate through geologic time?
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?
The hypothesis that proposes evolution occurs slowly but steadily is known as gradualism. It suggests that species evolve through gradual changes over long periods of time. This contrasts with punctuated equilibrium, which suggests that evolution occurs in short bursts of rapid change followed by long periods of stability.
What is the hypothesis that evolution occurs with periods of drastic change folled by periods of very little change?
punctuated equilibrium
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."
What is it called when evolution that occurs as a result of chance events like catastrophe?
genetic drift
The smallest unit in which evolution occurs is?
The smallest unit in which evolution occurs is a population.
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 evolution that occurs over a short period of time called?
Evolution that occurs over a short period of time is called microevolution. This involves changes in the gene pool of a population from one generation to the next, leading to small-scale adaptations within a species.
The theory that evolution occurs during short periods of rapid change is puntuated?
The theory that evolution occurs during short periods of rapid change is punctuated equilibrium. This theory suggests that most species remain relatively unchanged for long periods, with bursts of significant change happening over short periods of time. This contrasts with the gradualism theory, which proposes that evolution occurs at a slow and constant rate.
What is the acceleration that occurs when an object moves at a constant speed in circular motion?
It's called 'centripetal acceleration', whether or not the speed is constant or the path circular.
