Which would an animal breeder use to produce cows that give more milk? Genetic isolation Artificial selection Overproduction Acquired characteristics 2. A slow and steady evolutionary change in species is known as extinction punctuated equilibrium gradualism extantism 3. The arm bones of a cat, a bat, and a human would be an example of coevolutionary structures vestigial structures analogous structures homologous structures 4. Remains of organisms that are preserved and can show evolutionary relationships are known as disruptive selection fossils missing links stabilization 5.
