The analogy between this emerging picture of genome evolution and the punctuated equilibrium concept of species evolution, which has been developed through analysis of the paleontological record [ 40], is obvious.
Of the BEL Survey's 23 statements, two (11, 16) were taken directly from Cunningham and Wescott's survey; eight were adapted from Cunningham and Wescott's survey (1, 6, 7, 9, 15, 17, 20, 22); and the remaining 13 statements (2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 21, 23) were developed through an extensive search of biological evolution misconception literature.

Evolution, thus, is considered to be a recurring topic within the curriculum and, moreover, a topic that should be developed through the years.
Through the course of long historical evolution, various methods and devices have been developed in attempts to solve the many problems that have arisen in connection with representation.
"The advantage of the animal," Gary Beauchamp, a professor at Monell Chemical Senses Centre, "is that they have developed through evolution the optimal way of identifying odorants, categorising them and putting them into patterns.
These communication systems represent networks developed through evolution that enable cellular adaptation to the surrounding environment.
The theory of intelligent design holds that life is too complicated to have developed through evolution and that a higher power must be involved.
