What is evolution that occurs in short rapid bursts?
Punctuated equilibrium
What theory has been used to explain the pattern of rapid evolution that often occurs after a mass extinction event?
The theory of rapid evolution rather than over a very long time.
A change in gene frequency in a population over time is a foundation of biological evolution true or false?
True. That is the definition of evolution.
What are some reasons rapid evolution may occur after long periods of equilibrium?
Here are a couple of possiblilties (there are more): * The population can develop isolated subpopulations on its periphery. Evolution is much more rapid in small isolated populations. * Changes in the environment can lead to rapid evolution. Variation that was once neutral may now become beneficial and increase in frequency, while variation that may have been adaptive in the previous environment may now be deleterious and selected against.
Is evolution progressive?
It depends first on the context and definition of the terms "evolution" and "progress(ive)". The term evolution may be used in many different contexts; such as the evolution of species, or the evolution of technology. And the term progressive may have more than one meaning; such as implying some form of improvement over time, or merely implying non-stasis.Colloquially, the term evolution may refer to progress in terms of improvement. We might say, for example, that the rapid evolution of technology has led to great improvement in the quality of life. However, the same is not true when the terms are applied to science.Biological evolution, for example, describes how populations diverge, adapt, and differentiate over time resulting in new species. We might say that evolution progresses because it is not static, or because information is being added to the genomes of species over time; but not because there was any quantifiable improvement.
What is the model in of evolution in which periods of rapid change occur is called?
Punctuated equilibrium is the model of evolution in which periods of rapid change occur interspersed with long periods of stability. This theory suggests that species evolve quickly in short bursts of rapid change followed by extended periods of little or no change.

The theory of rapid evolution rather than over a very long time.
Can someone explain how AIDs supports evolution?
Rapid adaption by mutation and natural selection of the virus. Take the viruses surface identification proteins. they change rapidly due to mutation and those that best avoid detection by the body go on to make copies of themselves. The very definition of evolution.
Which organism was reported to have experienced rapid evolution in a lake in Germany?
Hydra
Scientists have observed evolution in a rapid time scale in what organism?
Bacteria
The first stage in boundary evolution is?
The first stage in boundary evolution is: '''definition.''' [Not delimination] >:-(
Why is a rapid bacterial evolution such a threat to human health?
Bacterial evolution results in bacteria that are resistant or immune to medicine and/or our immune system.
What is the rapid evolution that can come about by the mutation of just a few genes'?
Punctuated equilibrium
What is the theory that evolution occurs during short period of rapid change?
Equilibria
That evolution ended?
Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, can not end by definition.
How can you use evolution in a sentence?
By the definition. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.
