Answer:

According to the <u>punctuated equilibrium</u> model, evolution occurs in spurts; species evolve relatively rapidly then remain unchanged for long periods.

Explanation:

The theory of punctuated equilibrium maintains that during most of the time of existence of a species it would remain stable or with minor changes, that is, in periods of stasis or periods of morphological stability, followed by rapid and abrupt events of evolutionary changes.  This model was proposed by evolutionary biologist and paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould and his colleague Niles Eldrege. This theory includes the phenomena of stasis and the sudden or instantaneous appearance of forms in the normal process of speciation, that is, formation of new species.

This also makes sense; they've been parents and not husband and wife. For that reason, following the child's departure, they're not sure what to do with themselves.</span></span></span>

Which activity seems to be the most important health habit in old age?
trasher [3.6K]

The correct answer is calorie restriction.

Energy restriction or calorie restriction refers to a dietary routine, which minimizes the intake of calorie without undergoing malnutrition or a reduction in essential nutrients. The generally consumed components of food comprising calories are proteins, carbohydrates, and fats.

In various species, calorie restriction in the absence of malnutrition may slow down the process of biological aging, leading to the longer sustenance of health and an enhancement in both maximum and median lifespan.
