Compare gradualism to punctuated equilibrium?
Gradualism is when a change takes place over time. Punctuated equilibrium is when nothing changes for a very long time, then suddenly something new appears, after which another long period of no change occurs.
How the gradualism model of evolution differs from the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution?
The gradualism model of evolution states that change occurs gradually over time. On the other hand, the punctuated equilibrium model states that change occurs suddenly or rapidly.
What must one accept that evolution follows either the pattern of punctuated equilibrium or the pattern of gradualism?
chicken pie
What do scientists now think about pace of evolutionary change?
A combination of both gradualism and punctuated equilibrium best explains the pace of evolutionary change
Pattern of evolution where a species is stable for a long time then rapidly changes?
punctuated equilibrium
How are the theories of gradualism and punctuated equilibrium different and similar?
Gradualism proposes that evolution occurs through a slow and continuous process, with small changes accumulating over time. Punctuated equilibrium, on the other hand, suggests that evolution happens in rapid bursts of change separated by long periods of little to no change. Both theories address the concept of how species evolve over time, but they differ in the pace and patterns of these changes.
What is the model for the slow process of evolution?
Gradualism (as opposed to punctuated equilibrium).
The rapid development of bacteria resistant to penicillin is an example of gradualism?
Punctuated equilibrium
Is the rapid development of bacteria resistant to penicillin an example of gradualism?
Punctuated equilibrium
Compare gradualism to punctuated equilibrium?

What is the model for the slow on going process of evolution?
Gradualism (as opposed to punctuated equilibrium).
How the gradualism model of evolution differs from the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution?
The gradualism model of evolution states that change occurs gradually over time. On the other hand, the punctuated equilibrium model states that change occurs suddenly or rapidly.
The theroy that evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
No, it happens in small leaps. This is called punctuated equilibrium. Gradualism is actually the answer to the question though punctuated equilibrium is also another tempo of evolutionary change.
What is meant by gradualism versus punctuated equilibrium?
When someone does not believe in intelligent creation, it can believe in anything. Gradualism and punctuated equilibrium are two ways in which the evolution of a species can occur. Those terms were created when no missing link were never found. In the 1800's scientists were looking for missing links believing there were missing waiting to be dug up. Then came the punctuated equilibrium term when no missing was found.
Over several thousand years the birds descendants evolve webbed feet and begin to feed on fish is this an example of gradualism or punctuated equilibrium?

What do gradualism and punctuated equilibrium have in common?
Punctuated equilibrium is commonly contrasted against phyletic gradualism, the belief that evolution generally occurs uniformly and by the steady and gradual transformation of whole lineages (called anagenesis). In this view, evolution is seen as generally smooth and continuous.
