What is the process of saltation?
Saltationism posits extreme mutational jumps instead of the incremental process of natural selection. " Hopeful monsters from the satanic world of hell", so to speak. These people thought evolution proceeded by mutation more than selection, but it is an idea who's time has passed. By looking back at Ancient Greek Hieroglyphics, this natural selection stated in Saltationism definitely proves to be true. Although, present-day scientists have also confirmed the facts about Saltationism.
What theory that is based on the belief that new species appear in nature as a result of mutations?
Saltationism. Called the " hopeful monster " theory. Long refuted. Mutation is the grist to the mill of natural selection but in and of itself will not result in new species.
What are current theries that conflict with Darwin's theory what evidence is used to support thses theories?
Current theories that conflict with Darwin's theory of evolution include Lamarckism, which suggests acquired traits can be passed down through generations, and Saltationism, which proposes that large evolutionary changes can happen suddenly. Supporters of Lamarckism cite cases of epigenetics as evidence, while proponents of Saltationism point to instances of punctuated equilibrium in the fossil record to support their claims.
What is the idea that organisms that are better adapted to their environment have a better chance of survival than organisms that are poorly adapted to their environment?
make sure you read this whole entire thing the answer will definitely be SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, Organisms are well known to live in their own environment rather than organisms that are poorly adapted to their environment! some people will think that the answer id adaption but the real answer is MUTATION! when you look at it in the real world the answer will be SALTATIONISM, just take a quick guess and figure out which one it is, by your selff! (: your smarter than the computer, and you can figure it out the computer is very confusing

What is the mutation theory of evolution?
This concept was called saltationism. It posited that organisms could be speciated by " hopeful monster " mutations in one large jump and this concept vied for prominence among biologists, mostly geneticists, with gradualist concepts of how evolution happened and all this in the early 20th century. This concept was shown to have no merit and has been refuted since then.
How can hox genes provide evidence of evolution?
The hox genes (actually a subset of the Homeobox genes) were important in evolutionary thought because they provided a basis for saltationism and punctuated equilibrium.These genes direct morphogenesis, defining the body plan of organisms. Thus, a small mutation in any of them can lead to an enormous change in the physical appearance of an organism.
When evolution started?
In living organisms, evolution started in the very first living cell that contained mutable nucleic acid. The instant a reproductive living organism ( immediately post-abiogenesis) that contained a nucleic acid, evolution could begin. This would have happened in the first life of the Precambrian (3 800 million years ago).In the world of anthropic learning and discovering the Universe, Charles Darwin thought up a name for the mechanism of evolution in the 1800s and published On the Origin of Species in 1859. In other words the world has known about evolution since 1859.
Can you compare and contrast gradualism and punctuated equilibrium?
punctuated equilibria accounts for the gaps in the fossil record. Species evolve quickly during relatively short periods. Tiny changes in a species gradually add up to major changes over very long periods of time. Gradualism proposes that evolution occurs slowly but steadily. These periods of rapid change are separated by long periods of little or no change.
