I think it is Puncuated Equilibrium. I am not sure.

No Punctuated Evolution is a period of stasis where no changes occur followed by sudden rapid change.

It is Divergent

What is divergent evolution in whch ancestral species evolve into an array of species to fit a number of diverse habitats?

Divergent evolution is when a common ancestor gives rise to different species adapted to different environments or ecological niches. This process results in the evolution of distinct traits in each species to better suit their specific habitats and lifestyles.


What is an example of divergent evolution?

Basically, divergence is the "default mode" of evolution. So virtually all species you can think of would be examples of divergence. Even in cases of parallel and convergent evolution, the underlying genomes will continue to diverge. An often used example of divergent evolution in the morphological and behavioural sense is Darwin's finches.


What term refers to such phenomenon of evolving different adaptive forms from ancestral species?

The term that refers to the phenomenon of evolving different adaptive forms from ancestral species is called divergent evolution. This occurs when two or more related species become increasingly different over time due to adapting to different environments or ecological niches.


What is it called when two very different species evolve to look like each other?

Convergent evolution may be the words you seek. This often happens when different species have to adapt to a similar environment. An example would be the similar body shape, and the shape of appendages; of both fish and of marine mammals.


What is the term for biodiversity that results from new ancestral species?

Adaptive radiation is the term for biodiversity that results from few ancestral species.

Is adaptive radiation the evolution of numerous species from a single ancestor?

yes


The evolution of different forms in the same lineage when exposed to different selective pressures is called?

Adaptive radiation is the term used to describe the process of a single lineage giving rise to multiple diverse forms in response to different selective pressures in different environments. This phenomenon often results in the development of distinct adaptations and ecological roles within the same lineage.


What if an effect of adaptive radiation?

An effect of adaptive radiation is the diversification of a single ancestral species into a variety of different forms to exploit different ecological niches. This can lead to the evolution of new species with specialized adaptations for specific environments or resources. Adaptive radiation is often associated with rapid speciation and can result in an increase in biodiversity within a relatively short period of time.


How many types of evolution are there?

well, you get many types like:australopithecus afarensisaustralopithecus africanushomo erectushomo habilishomo sapienhomo sapien sapien


What has a single species that has evolved into several different forms that live in different ways has undergone?

Adaptive radiation, where a single species diversifies into multiple forms to exploit different niches within their environment. This process allows for the evolution of various adaptations that improve their survival and reproduction in specific habitats.


How do animals living in the Galápagos Islands help support the theory of evolution?

They are a classic example of adaptive radiation. Most of the animals on the Islands are from South America and came to the Islands, diversified into many species which inhabit different Islands in the chain. The finches and tortoises are the best example of this adaptive radiation; just evolution over time.


The evolution of ancestral species into an array of many spices that occupy diffret habitats?

A radiation event. Called adaptive radiation.


The rapid formation of many new species as in this case is called?

Adaptive Radiation :)


What are the 5 types for evolution?

The five types of evolution are divergent evolution (species diverge from a common ancestor), convergent evolution (unrelated species develop similar traits), coevolution (two species evolve in response to each other), parallel evolution (related species independently evolve similar traits), and adaptive radiation (rapid diversification of species to fill ecological niches).
