Answer:

The hypothesis refers to the proposed or suggested explanation for any observed phenomenon. It provides the starting point for scientific investigation after which experiments are designed and performed in order to pass or fail the hypothesis.

In contrast, a theory refers to a set of principles which are well supported by scientific experiments, pieces of evidence, and observations.

Gradualism describes the rates of speciation. It means that evolutionary changes in species are slow, gradual and continuous process.
