Which theory stresses that behavior is strongly influenced by biology and evolution and has sensitive critical periods?
ethological theory
How does the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution states that evolution occurs rapidly?
Gradualism is the theory that evolution occurs slowly and consistently along periods of time. On the other hand, punctuated equilibrium is the theory that evolution does not occurs for long periods of time and then suddenly evolves rapidly in a small short period of time.
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.
What models of evolution view change as occurring over a long time frame and at a relatively constant pace?
The view of evolution occurring relatively constantly over a long time frame is called gradualism. This stands in contrast to the view of long periods of stasis punctuated by relatively rapid change, usually caused by environmental change. This is called punctuated equilibrium.A modern view of evolution recognizes that both processes are at work.
The change in the inherited characteristics of species over long periods of time is called?
The change of inherited characteristics of species over long periods of time is called evolution.
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
What is the hypothesis that evolution occurs with periods of drastic change folled by periods of very little change?
punctuated equilibrium
What do you call changes in a species over long periods of time?
It's Evolution
What is a gradual change in an ecosystem?
Changes over species over long periods of time is known as evolution.
What states that changes in species happen slowly over long time periods?
Evolution.
Why do scientists know very little about the Precambrian's?
Changes separated by long periods of little or no changes with no intermediate forms of species.😐😉
What is the nongradual evolutionary changes in organisms?
The punctuated equilibrium model of evolution holds that evolution occurs in spurts, with species evolving relatively rapidly, and then remaining unchanged for long periods.
A pattern of rapid evolutionary changes followed by long periods of no change is described as?
Punctuated Evolution or equilibrium
What occur during periods of adaptive radiation?
Generally, evolution of several species occurs during periods of adaptive radiation. These new species have evolved to "adapt" to new environments created by changes like massive flooding around continents and changes to the sea floor.
Why are the elements on the periodic tables separated into periods?
Periods are types of elements.
How do you know if your in menopous-?
You might know if you are in menopause if you are having hot flashes and irregular periods coupled with drastic mood changes. Check with your family doctor.
What are brief periods of change that interrupt long stable periods called?
Evolution
