Question
fossil record
time
morphology
one example of select is finding dark - colored peppered moths or were only light - colored moths.
select
gradualism
cladogram
punctuated equilibrium
speciation
The graph shows long periods of no morphological change (stasis) interrupted by sudden shifts, which matches punctuated equilibrium. The peppered moth example involves a sudden shift in trait frequency (dark moths appearing abruptly in the fossil/observational record after being absent), consistent with this evolutionary model. Gradualism describes slow, steady change; a cladogram is a diagram of relationships; speciation is the formation of new species, which is not the specific pattern shown here.
