Respuesta :
Although both punctuated equilibrium and gradualism describe the rate of speciation, in gradualism evolution of species is, as a name suggests, gradual and slow while in punctuated equilibrium evolution of species occurs in sudden rapid changes.
Genetic equilibrium is a condition in a gene pool in which frequencies of alleles and genotypes does not change from one generation to another. Genetic drift is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population as a result of random sampling of organisms.

Answer:
Both theories describe the rates of speciation. For Gradualism, changes in species is slow and gradual, occurring in small periodic changes in the gene pool, whereas for Punctuated Equilibrium, evolution occurs in spurts of relatively rapid change with long periods of non-change.
