Matching the following terms and definitions. 1. adaptive radiation a theory of evolution that states that a species evolves in spurts of rapid change and then no change 2. coevolution a theory of evolution that states that a species evolves by consistent, small, steps 3. convergent evolution a pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other 4. divergent evolution a pattern of evolution in which similar characteristics evolve between two unrelated species 5. gradualism a pattern of evolution in which slightly different species evolve from one common ancestor 6. punctuated equilibrium a pattern of evolution in which very different species evolve from one common ancestor

1.  Adaptive radiation: A pattern of evolution in which slightly different species evolve from one common ancestor.

2.  Coevolution:  A  pattern of evolution in which two species evolve from each other.

3.  Convergent evolution:  A pattern of evolution in which similar characteristics evolve between two unrelated species.

4.  Divergent evolution:  A pattern of evolution in which very different species evolve from one common ancestor.

5.  Gradualism:  A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves by consistent, small, steps.

6.  Punctuated equilibrium:  A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves in spurts of rapid change and then no change.

explanation:

plz give me the characteristics.

prophase: we can observe the chromosomes to coil up and condense. they become visible. nuclear membrane and envelope disintigrate.s

metaphase: chromosomes align at the center, the metaphase plate. spindle fibers attach to centromeres of the sister chromatids. they meet at kinetochores.

anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled towards each opposing centromere, set on different poles.

telophase: chromosomes are now clustered up only on either sides of the cell. nuclear membranes reform, and a new cell wall forms along the cell plate. this will lead to cytokinesis, the process that divides the cell membrane and forms the cell wall.
