That is called "Gradualism" (the alternate being "Punctuated Equilibrium").
I do not know now give me the answers. right now for i get mad as hell for i can pass this class right now i am Seniors. lol
Evolution is slow changes to better suit ones enviorment
Not always. Google polyploidy to see plants that evolve in one generation as one example of rapid evolution.
Darwin believed that evolution happens over a very long period of time. It usually takes thousands of years to see evolutionary change.
Its called evolution
Gradualism
Gradualism.
The theory of rapid evolution rather than over a very long time.
The General Theory of Evolution posits that change occurs not only 'within' a species, but also 'across' species. In this way, change is actually unlimited in the sense that, given the right circumstances and given the right environmental pressures, any form of biological life could eventually be pushed from one species to another. A lizard could be pushed into the form of a bird; a whale could be pushed into the form of a wolf. So, as we take a look at the General Theory of Evolution (AKA Macroevolution)
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."
Simple statement I often use to illustrate the definition of the theory of evolution by natural selection proceeded by the definition of evolution itself. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Natural selection is the nonrandom survival and reproductive success of randomly varying replicating organisms.
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.
Equilibria
The gradualism model of evolution states that change occurs gradually over time. On the other hand, the punctuated equilibrium model states that change occurs suddenly or rapidly.
Punctuated equilibrium.
One is that evolution occurs gradually and consistently.The other is that evolution occurs as a result of competition for 'niches'
population
Gradualism is the concept but I would not give it the ranking of scientific theory. It is more a subset of the theory of evolution by natural selection and was first formulated into that theory by Darwin.
The theory of rapid evolution rather than over a very long time.
is called evolution. There are various theory's as to how this happened including Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection, Lamarck's acquired characteristics as well as religious and creationist ideas.
Gradualism.
That theory is called punctuated equilibrium.
