How did Lamarck propose that species change over time?
Lamarck proposed that by selective use or disuse of organs, organisms acquired or lost certain traits during their lifetime. Then passed onto offspring-leading to change in species
What is the name of the theory that states species evolve during short periods of rapid change?
It is called Punctuated Equilibrium. Some Evolutionary apologists, notably Richard Dawkins, have down played this aspect of Neo-Darwinistic theory.
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 is the process of change that occurs during an organisms life to produce a more complex organism?
The correct answer is GROWTH and/or DEVELOPMENT... one of the characteristics of life... Evolution is the change in a species over a long period of time.... you would not notice these changes in an organism's life. ===================================== When an organism becomes more complex during its own life, that is called growth or growth and development.

punctuated equilibrium
What does the term punctuated equilibria describe?
Punctuated equilibria is a theory in evolutionary biology that suggests species undergo long periods of relative stability (stasis) punctuated by sudden and rapid evolutionary change. This theory contrasts with gradualism, which proposes that evolution occurs steadily over long periods of time.
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.
The theory that evolution occurs during short periods of rapid change is puntuated?
Punctuated equilibrium.

How can you change your moshi monster without a new account?
It's impossible! You can change the colour but you can't change the species of your monster during the game.

Did cholera happen during a period of change?
Until the 20th century cholera was widespread and typically a 'poor man's disease' because its cause was and is the use of contaminated water (mostly) or food. Its outbreaks happened all the time, so undoubtedly also during periods of change. Today, it happens mostly during periods of natural disasters, when good sanitation and clean water as a result are not available.
