The punctuated equilibrium model of evolution agrees with the theory of gradualism on the idea of

a) inheritance of acquired characteristics
b) natural selection
c) use and disuse of organs
d) the rate of speciation

Natural selection. They disagree on the rate, inheritance, and whatever c is talking about.

Gradualism and punctuated equilibrium are two ways in which the evolution of a species can occur. A species can evolve by only one of these, or by both. Scientists think that species with a shorter evolution evolved mostly by punctuated equilibrium, and those with a longer evolution evolved mostly by gradualism.

Gradualism is selection and variation that happens more gradually. Over a short period of time it is hard to notice. Small variations that fit an organism slightly better to its environment are selected for: a few more individuals with more of the helpful trait survive, and a few more with less of the helpful trait die. Very gradually, over a long time, the population changes. Change is slow, constant, and consistent.
