Answer:

They both describes the rate of evolution for a given course of time

Explanation:

Gradualism talk about the changes that happen gradually and consistently  leading to evolution of an organism in due course of time while punctuated equilibrium talks about spurting change for a certain time period and then the process of evolution slows down thereby causing further gradual evolution of organism for the remaining course of time. Thus, these two mechanism depict the rate by which an organism evolve.

Answer:

They are both explanations of the rate of evolutionary change.

Explanation:

Gradualism is that evolution occurs at a slow and steady pace. Gradualism brings small variation to particular species, it occurs over a long period of time.

In punctuated equilibrium, change comes in spurts. Punctuated Equilibrium is the time in which species are stable but now and then there is a disruptive event that promotes frequent changes.

Why do we find probability of deviation in biology ? And when can the null hypothesis be accepted
jasenka [17]

Answer: probability is used to predict the chance that an event is likely to occur at a particular chosen level of significance.

Null hypothesis is accepted in biology when the p value is less than 1%, statistically, when the value of p<0.01

Explanation:

Determing the significance level is decided by the researcher, often times, scientists commonly use the 0.05, 0.01, or 0.001 probability levels as cut-off values. For instance, in the example experiment, you used the 1% probability. Thus, P ≥ 0.01 can be interpreted to mean that chance likely caused the deviation between the observed and the expected values (i.e. there is a greater than 1% probability that chance explains the data).

If instead we had observed that P ≤ 0.01, this would mean that there is less than a 1% probability that our data can be explained by chance. There is a significant difference between our expected and observed results, so the deviation must be caused by something other than chance.

Which eocene organisms had clear primate characteristics like a postorbital bar, opposable thumbs, nails, and a large brain?
ANEK [815]

The eocene organisms had clear primate characteristics like a postorbital bar, opposable thumbs, nails, and a large brain are Omomydids and Adapids.

The adapids were lemur like primates and the omomydids which includes the probable ancestors of apes and monkeys and Tarsiidae (tarsiers). They are organisms of the eocene epoch present about 34 to 55 million years ago.

They are considered to be the early primates. Their primates characteristics are forward oriented eyes, postorbital bar, opposable thumbs, nails, large brain and adaptation to live in the tree.
