answer to
question: well, as it is said , both theories
Gradualism and
Punctuated equilibrium describe
the rate of Speciation , but both of these
theories can be related to, change in biodiversity, for the
different pace they hold.
- for Gradualism , changes in species are slow, steady pace ,they
occur in small periodic changes in the gene pool, and usually
happens uniformly ,and these big changes occur from small
cumulative changes over time .Gradualism since involves selection and variation , that
accounts for its gradual nature .
- for Punctuated equilibrium : on the other hand, species diverge
much quickly , these changes are abrupt and rapid and followed by
long periods of no change , then again a quick and rapid change in
species.
- but it is to be kept in mind , that both these changes results
in divergence of species .
