What is divergence in relation to evolution?
Increasing divergence between reproductively isolated populations, occasionally leading to speciation, is one effect of evolution.
The accumulation of differences between species or populations is called?
divergence / divergent evolution
What are the four stages of evolution?
There are no stages to evolution. It is a continuous process of adaptation and divergence.
What is often a result of evolution?
Adaptation, divergence and speciation.
The accumulation of differences between populations that once formed a single population is called?
divergent evolution
The evolution of one or more species from a single ancestor?
divergence.
What is an example of divergent evolution?
Basically, divergence is the "default mode" of evolution. So virtually all species you can think of would be examples of divergence. Even in cases of parallel and convergent evolution, the underlying genomes will continue to diverge. An often used example of divergent evolution in the morphological and behavioural sense is Darwin's finches.
What is divergence in evolution?
Divergence is the growing apart of two lineages - lines of descent. Divergence may occur at the morphological, behavioural and developmental level, and will always occur at the genetic level, at least when two lineages are reproductively isolated from one another.
Is similarities an early development not evidence for evolution?
It does hint at common ancestry so it is "evidence" of evolution.
Homology is evidence of what?
Evolution
What are the two speeds that evolution can happen?
There are no discrete speeds for evolution. A workable method for measuring evolution could be in terms of genetic divergence, measured, for instance, in nucleotide basepairs per million per year. For humans and chimps, such a method would yield an equivalent of about 600 bp divergence per generation, ie. about 0.01 bp per million bp per year.
What is the study of vertebrate forelimbs is related to what evidence?
In evolution the study of vertebrate forelimbs is related to the anatomical evidence from homology.
