This process is opposite to contrast to  gradualism which is also called as uniformitarianism. This process is associated with slow and also incremental changes. Erosion is the best example for this process.

The formation of major mountain chains and great floods are some of the examples of Catastrophism. Both are associated with the changes that occurs in a species by the time taken for the changes determines whether it is Catastrophism or gradualism.

Which of the following events occurs during Meiosis I? The number of chromosomes increases from the haploid number to the diploi
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Homologous chromosomes are separated from each other.

Explanation:

In meiosis I during metaphase, all the homologous chromosomes of the cell pair up and get arranged near equatorial plate. Subsequently after completion of meiosis I, these  homologous chromosomes get separated from each other so that out of the two cells which are produced after meiosis I could get one chromosome each from the homologous pair. During anaphase I of meiosis I, spindle fibres are formed which drag each of these homologous chromosomes towards two opposite poles. Soon after that, cytokinesis occurs during telophase I of meiosis I leading to the generation of two cells.  

For example, humans have 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. After completion of meiosis I, two cells are produced and each one of them has 23 chromosomes.
