What sHow is long periods with little change in organisms followed by short periods of rapid change?
Evolution.
Punctuated equilibrium interprets speciation as occurring how?
Rapidly in the development of new,beneficial traits, followed by very long periods of little change
What is a long stable period of little change interrupted by brief periods of more rapid change?
Stable Periods of little change interrupted by brief periods of more change is known as punctuated equilibrium.
The idea that new species occur suddenly in the fossil record followed by long periods of little change is called?
This is the idea called punctuated equilibria, by paleontologists Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge. It explains the patterns seen in the fossil record.
What is the hypothesis that evolution occurs with periods of drastic change folled by periods of very little change?
punctuated equilibrium
What is the process of becoming adapted to the environment?
a model of evolution in which short periods of drastic change in species are separated by long periods of little or no change
How would you describe the punctuated equilibrium theory?
The punctuated equilibrium theory suggests that evolution occurs in rapid bursts of change interspersed with long periods of stasis. It proposes that species experience sudden bursts of evolutionary change due to localized environmental pressures, followed by extended periods of little to no change. This theory contrasts with the gradualism model, which suggests a constant and gradual rate of evolution over time.
What is a model of evolution in which short periods of drastic changes in species are separated by long periods of little or no change?
Punctuated Equilibrium, I believe is the answer.
What is the theory of punctuated equillibrium?
Punctuated equilibria is also known as Punctuated equilibrium. It suggests that in most species a lot of evolutionary change takes place in short periods of time for most of their geological history, remaining in a prolonged state called stasis.
What are the problems faced by historians in dividing the periods in History?
Most issues are based in similarity. Some long periods of history in various places see little change in things like technology, culture, demographics and hence are difficult to be divided into historical periods.
Why do elections have so little impact on public policy?
Candidate do not want to change what the public wants, but instead change their policy around the public opinion. Public opinion and the political parties enter a phase of consolidation and continuity between periods of rapid change.
When you move across the periodic table what happens to the electornegativity?
Electronegativity increases across the second and third periods or rows of the periodic table until the noble gases are reached; then electronegativity drops substantially. There is little change if any in electronegativity in the part of the higher numbered periods that represents transition metals, but the increase in electronegativity resumes in column 13 of these periods.
