Whta is the differences and similarities associated with gradualism and punctuated and equilibrium

Biology
1 answer:
Archy [21]2 years ago
3 0

Gradualism is the type of evolutionary process in which the selection for a certain trait occurs gradually, with small changes over a long period of time.  This is the basis for Classic New Darwinism.  

Unlike gradualism, punctuated equilibrium occurs through changes that come in spurts. Thus there are periods with little change and short periods with huge changes. This theory is best supported by the fossil record that does not contain any individuals showing transitional characteristics.

Both theories are similar in their assumption of the cause for change being natural selection as well as a common descent of all organisms.

Answer: .374 and .626

Explanation:

5. total number of alleles = 4712 + 2816 = 7528

       frequencey of B allele = B allele / total number of alleles --> 2816/7528 = 0.374                

             

6. total number of alleles =  4712 + 2816 = 7528

   freq of b allele = b allele/total number of alleles --> 4712/7528 = 0.626

We can confirm our answer as correct because if we add up the answers to 5 and 6 we should get one:

0.374 + 0.626 = 1

1. Scientific method is the techniques that scientists used to carry out investigation process. It is made up of five steps, which are:
a. Observation: this is the stage in which a scientist make an observation to which he did not have an explanation.
b. Formation of a research question:  in accordance to observation made, the scientist form a question on which his experiment will be based
c. Formation of hypothesis: at this stage the scientist offers a proposed explanation for the observation which he had made and state what he expects at the end of the experiment.
d. Conduction of the experiment: at this stage the scientist carry out the experiment using appropriate means.
e. Analysis of data and drawing of conclusion: this is last stage of the investigation, at this stage, the scientist analysis the results he obtained and draw a conclusion based on the results of the data.

2. Scientists used scientific method to carry out scientific investigations because the method minimize the influence of bias and prejudice in the experiments that they carry out. The method provides an objective, standardized approach to scientific investigation; this result in reproducible results which can be achieved by other scientists in every parts of the world. The method also helps to minimize errors during investigation.
