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.
Occurs when species that were similar become increasingly distinct?
Divergent evolution:)
What is a model describing the rapid evolution that occurs when mutation of a few genes results in a species suddenly changing into a new species?
This process is known as punctuated equilibrium, a hypothesis that suggests evolution occurs in sudden bursts of change followed by periods of stability. It proposes that speciation can occur rapidly after mutations in a few key genes lead to significant changes in an organism's phenotype, resulting in the formation of a new species.
Evolution that occurs at a constant rate is the hypothesis called?
Concept called gradualism. Not hypothesis, as it has been tested and confirmed, especially among the " little shellies. "
What occurs when species that were similar become increasingly extinct?
Divergent Evolution :)
What is the hypothesis that evolution occurs with periods of drastic change folled by periods of very little change?
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.
How is coevolution similar to divergent evolution?
Coevolution and divergent evolution both involve the process of species evolving in response to changes in their environment or interactions with other species. However, coevolution specifically refers to the reciprocal evolution of two or more species in response to each other, often resulting in a close relationship between the species. Divergent evolution, on the other hand, occurs when two or more related species evolve different traits and adaptations due to different environmental pressures, eventually leading to their divergence from a common ancestor.
What is the difference between evolution coeveolution convergent evolution and divergent evolution?
Convergence= occurs when different creatures have similar organs...and disproves evolution, but reveals an Intelligent Designer, i.e. Creator God. Divergence = very different-diverse-features in plants or animals which ought to be very closely related. See more on the web.
When different species with unrelated ancestors develop similar traits this is called?
Convergent evolution. It occurs when different species independently evolve similar traits in response to similar environmental pressures, even though they do not share a common ancestor.
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.
When does convergent evolution occur?
Divergent evolution occurs when a single species develops a certain trait and then diverges to become two different species. Compare this to convergent evolution, where two different species develop a similar trait.
