A)
Punctuated equilibrium occurs at a slow and constant rate, while gradualist evolution occurs at a faster rate after a period of stasis.
B)
Gradualist evolution occurs at a slow and constant rate, while punctuated equilibrium occurs at a faster rate after a period of stasis.
C)
Punctuated equilibrium is not essential for the formation of new species, while gradualist evolution is essential.
D)
Gradualist evolution is not essential for the formation of new species, while punctuated equilibrium is essential.
Answer:
B) Gradualist evolution occurs at a slow and constant rate, while punctuated equilibrium occurs at a faster rate after a period of stasis.
