3

Gradualism

Slow/constant

4
New cards

Punctuated equilibrium

Stability>Sudden change>Stability

5
New cards

Divergent evolution

One common ancestor evolves into many different species

6
New cards

Unrelated species evolve similar traits because they have similar environments

7
New cards

Coevolution

2 species evolve together because they are closely interacting
