What predictions about the fossil record does punctuated equilibrium make?
What predictions about the fossil record does punctuated equilibrium make? In this model, what are the processes that produce rapid evolution? Which evolutionary factors are responsible for the periods of relative stasis? Patterns of punctuated equilibrium have been observed in some cases, but the debate between punctuated equilibrium and phyletic gradualism continues and provides interesting areas of research. Based on your research into the scientific process, what evidence do we see today that supports a long history of life on the planet? What evidence do we see that supports the concept of punctuated equilibrium?
Solution Summary
This solution correlates fossil records to punctuated equilibrium with references to validate.

"wow thanks so much"
"thank you so much!"
"I appreciate your help, I just have a few questions. does glycolysis occur in photosynthesis as well as cellular respiration? Also would it be possible to put the information into a more of a comparative format? For example, how the equations compare, what are the reactants and products, etc. Thank you so much!"
"thank you. hope to receive your help again. just posted another question. will be in this class for 5 weeks."
"Fine.. Need more info."
