The following is not true of the
punctuated equilibrium theory is ‘It suggests that subgroups diverge and evolve
at about equal and constant rates.’ The answer is letter B. the statements ‘It
was inspired in part by patterns observed in the fossil record’, ‘It suggests
that most species undergo little phenotypic change during most of their
evolutionary duration’, ‘It proposes that most evolutionary change is
concentrated in relatively brief episodes of change’ and ‘It appears to be well
supported by the fossil record’ best supports the punctuated equilibrium
theory.
