What is the model in of evolution in which periods of rapid change occur is called?
Selective breeding is used for more rapid evolution or artificial breeding.
Is the process of evolution most commonly seen as a rapid change in the characteristics of an individual organism?
No - individuals do not evolve, as each individual's genes do not change, and evolution is defined as the change in allele frequencies over time.
What is the difference between evolution and theories of evolution?
Evolution is a process, theories of evolution are theories which explain that process
Scientists have observed evolution on a rapid time scale in what organism?
Bacteria
Is evolution a passive process?
According to science, evolution is not a passive process. It is an adaptive and active process that produces beneficial changes in organisms.
What is the definition for rapid evolution?
Rapid evolution is where the subjective species in a population is considered to be evolving in an unusually high frequency and rate, thus 'rapid' evolution is occuring.
How do species become adapted to their environment?
The process is called "adaptation."
Is the process of evolution is most commonly seen as a rapid change in the characteristic of and individual organism true or false?
That is false.

What conditions are needed to fossilize an organism?
The condition that is necessary for an organism to become a fossil is rapid burial. The process itself is known as taphonomy. This rapid burial process keeps the organism from decaying naturally.
Model of evolution showing rapid change?
Fossil
What are some reasons rapid evolution may occur after long periods of equilibrium?
Here are a couple of possiblilties (there are more): * The population can develop isolated subpopulations on its periphery. Evolution is much more rapid in small isolated populations. * Changes in the environment can lead to rapid evolution. Variation that was once neutral may now become beneficial and increase in frequency, while variation that may have been adaptive in the previous environment may now be deleterious and selected against.
How rapid was the process of industrialization?
very rapid
What is evolution that occurs in short rapid bursts?
Punctuated equilibrium
What theory has been used to explain the pattern of rapid evolution that often occurs after a mass extinction event?
The theory of rapid evolution rather than over a very long time.
