The correct answer is option C, An organism experienced punctuated equilibrium and rapidly evolved into another organism entirely

The biologist and geologist have not been able to identify the cause of sudden appearance and disappearance of an organism in the fossil record. They then coined the term punctuated equilibrium which supports the concept of lack of information regarding the changing fossil records. The punctuated equilibrium believes that evolution happened suddenly in a very short duration. There are lot of missing links regarding the transitional forms of any evolving organisms which now is used to support sudden appearance of an organism in the fossil record

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: translocation.

Explanation:

Translocations are <u>chromosomal abnormalities</u> that are caused by an error that can occur during meiosis <u>when a piece of a chromosome breaks off and it is attached to another chromosome that is not its homologous pair. </u>

There are two types of translocations when taking into account if there were a loss or gain of genetic material, or if it weren't. The type of translocation where there's no loss or gain of genetic material is called balanced, since the information is still there but in a different location.
