What is true about microevolution and macroevolution?
Micro evolution can lead to macroevolution
Microevolution can be described as?
Described by the definition for evolution. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Many biologists, myself included, do not like the terms micro and macro evolution. The prefered terms many of us use are; evolution ( instead of microevolution ) speciation ( instead of macroevolution )
How do evolution and microevolution differ?
Miroevolution is the change in allele frequency overtime in populations of organisms not leading to speciation; below the taxa level. Macroevolution is speciation. This terminology is not favored by many biologists because there is some implied difference in processes. That is to get from micro to macro. Actually evolution long enough is macro. So, many biologist prefer the terms. Evolution Speciation instead of micro and macro
What are six factors of macroevolution?
I'm not sure that there exists such a thing as "factors of macro-evolution". Macro-evolution is simply what happens when reproductively isolated populations continue to diverge as a result of micro-evolution. They drift apart genetically, behaviourally and morphologically, so that the differences between them become greater and greater. The mechanisms that cause this are reproductive variation and differential reproductive success, the principal mechanisms of evolution.
What is an example of micro evolution?
You are an example of human micro-evolution as the population of humans has changed allele frequency over time. Micro-evolution is just evolution; change over time.

What level does micro evolution take place?
Where all evolution takes place initially, and some say totally. The population. Microevolution is just this; Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Macroevolution is that change magnified, some say, at the taxa level.
Does natural selection only act in Macroevolution?
'Macro-evolution' is not a process in itself. Rather, it is a perspective on the effects of evolution. 'Micro-evolution' is those effects seen from close-up; by 'zooming out' one sees those same results in a wider scope called 'macro-evolution'. All evolution is driven by genetic variation and natural selection.

Which of these is an example of macroevolution?
Macroevolution is larger scale evolution above the species level. It happens over a longer period of time than microevolution. For example, microevolution can cause small adaptations within a species, but macroevolution causes more noticeable anatomical changes that give rise to new species and new groups of organisms. There is no real separation between micro- and macroevolution. Microevolution, over time, translates into macroevolution.
What is an example of micro evolution in organisms?
example of an micro-evolution in an organism?

What is a macro evolution?
Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.
What is mirco evolution?
micro evolution refers as evolution occurred during biochemical synthesis in primitive earth as for evolution of essential micro and bio molecules.
What is an example of micro-evolution?
Insects have evolved resistance to pesticides is one.
