The process of evolution is in it's definition.
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
Organisms are selected based on their reproductive success and this changes the alleles in the populations gene pool over time and this is the process of evolution. Change over time. That simple.

∙ 13y agoNatural selection is one of the ways evolution occurs. Natural selection happens as a result of seemingly insignificant, random, genetic changes. Tiny genetic changes might give a living organism (such as a plant or animal) a slight advantage over others within their species, thus improving the chances that it will procreate, and thus pass along the new trait. (Example: a new trait might allow a desert-dwelling lizard to withstand greater heat, or go longer without water; a genetic change might make a giraffe slightly taller, thus enabling it able to pluck leaves from taller trees; etc.)

∙ 6y agoEvolutionary theory is about the environment selecting for the fittest. The term fittest doesn't mean the strongest but for the genes that will give a species the best chance to develop and reproduce in a certain place. Some people who live high in a mountainous region are able to work there and not get 'winded' because they have a gene that allows that. Some of us, have lighter skin because we live in an place that requires that the body gets vitamin D from sunlight. People with dark skin don't do as well in that area. But they do better in places with a lot of sunlight and their darker skin prevents sun burn as well as skin cancer.

Simply, change over time.

Occurs when species that were similar become increasingly distinct?
Divergent evolution:)
What is evolution that occurs in short rapid bursts?
Punctuated equilibrium
What do gradualism and punctuated equilibrium have in common?
Punctuated equilibrium is commonly contrasted against phyletic gradualism, the belief that evolution generally occurs uniformly and by the steady and gradual transformation of whole lineages (called anagenesis). In this view, evolution is seen as generally smooth and continuous.
The theory that evolution occurs slowly but steadily is called?
Darwin's classic theory of evolution assumed that evolution is a slow, contunuous process, by which new species evolve and emerge. This is referred to at times as "organic evolution" and the "synthetic theory of evolution", or just the Darwinian theory of evolution. A newer theory, proposed originally by Niles Eldridge and Stephen Jay Gould is known as "punctuated equilibria", a model in which the evloution of new species occurs only periodically, in relatively rapid spurts. See "Time Frames the Rethinking of Darwinian Evolution and the Theory of Punctuated Equilibraia, Simon & Schuster, 1985"AnswerThe slow, constant process has also been called "gradualism."
What is the process by which populations change over time?
What is the name of the process of which evolution occurs?
The best answer is death.
Is the process of change that occurs during an organisms life to produce a more complex organism.?
evolution
The smallest unit in which evolution occurs is?
The smallest unit in which evolution occurs is a population.
What is the difference between evolution and theories of evolution?
Evolution is a process, theories of evolution are theories which explain that process
The process of change that occurs during an organism's life to produce a more complex organism?
evolution. good luck! i had the same question.
Is evolution a natural selection?
Natural selection explains the process of evolution: evolution by natural selection. It basically means that species with the highest fitness (survival rate) will live, and be selected by nature for the characteristics they possess that make them more apt to survive. Because of natural selection, evolution occurs.
What is the ability of an organism to change internally and externally in relation to its environment?
The process where organisms evolve through time is called evolution. This natural phenomenon occurs as a result of changes in the environment.
According to evolution evolution generally occurs when?
Evolution occurs when life forms reproduce with genetic variation of inherited traits, within an environment with a limited carrying capacity (which is basically all environments). In other words, evolution happens where life as we know it exists.
What three items do evolutionists disagree about?
One is that evolution occurs gradually and consistently.The other is that evolution occurs as a result of competition for 'niches'
Why is evolution a multigenerational multi-individual process?
Evolution is defined as the change in allele frequencies over time. Thus it has to be multi-generational, as the individuals in a single generation don't change their alleles. Similarly, individuals don't evolve (your genes don't change) and so it has to be a multi-individual process that occurs over multiple generations.
Is evolution closely related to DNA?
Yes; changes in DNA are the vehicle by which evolution occurs.
Occurs when species that were similar become increasingly distinct?
Divergent evolution:)
