Question
Evolution is a ______ process?
- Slow
- Fast
- Quick
- Stochastic
Hint:
Evolution is usually thought to be a slow process, something that happens over generations, to adaptive mutations. But environmental change is happening very fast.
The correct answer is: Fast
- Even though evolution is taking place all around us, for many species the process operates so slowly that it is not observable except over thousands or hundreds of thousands of years much too long to witness in a human lifetime.
- Evolution is a slow process that develops adaptations over time.
