What hypothesis proposes that evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
This is the concept of gradualism.
The hypothesis that evolution occurred slowly but steadily is called?
Darwinism
What theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
Gradualism is the concept but I would not give it the ranking of scientific theory. It is more a subset of the theory of evolution by natural selection and was first formulated into that theory by Darwin.
Does Evolution occur slowly?
yes.
Why does natural selection occurs too be more quickly?
A lot of natural selection occurs very slowly. It took the evolution of the dog from the wolf to take at least 14,000 years. It took singled celled life 3+billion years to evolve into multicellular life.
What hypothesis proposes that evolution occurs slowly but steadily?
This is the concept of gradualism.
The hypothesis that evolution occurred slowly but steadily is called?
Darwinism
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.

Generally evolution by natural selection occurs quite slowly over?
Evolution through natural selection occurs slowly over millions of years. It has been hypothesized that evolution is the result of positive mutations that occur in a community of organisms that help them survive better. Evolution is essentially descent with modification.
Why are fossils of intermediate life forms likely to be rare if the pattern of punctuated equilibrium explains how evolution occurs?
Intermediate species forms, yes. A the taxa level, no. Still, not all taxa evidence is supportive of punctuation and stasis. Punctuated equilibrium is only one explanation of how evolution occurs in some species, not all species. The little shellies evidence gradualist processes very well.
He works slowly but steadily which word is the verb?
The verb in this sentence is "works." It is the action word that describes what the subject (he) is doing.
What is a sentence for steadily?
She ran slowly, but steadily, and soon finished the race. He wrote steadily for hours.
What is gradualism?
Gradualism is the policy of gradual reform rather than sudden change or revolution; in biology, the theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily rather than abruptly.
What does the word steadily mean?
walk slowly
How do you use steadily in a word?
wallk slowly
What is the hypothesis that evolution occurred slowly but steadily called?
I think the attribution you are looking for is "Darwins' theory of evolution". He wrote several books hypothesizing his theories, the most pertinent to your question being "Origin of Species". You might also want to look up something called the "kalisto effect"... It is a theory based on a similar principal, but in which, occasionally evolution takes makes a giant step and creates a short lived, but particularly efficient abhoritional species
