Evolution produces new species. Macro-evolution is the term used to indicate such divergence at a scope beyond that of the single species. It's not referring to a different process, but to a different perspective on the same process.

∙ 11y agoIn an indirect manner, yes, it does. We know that major taxa in Biology have a common ancestry. We know and can observe that the process that guides the divergence of minor taxa from their common ancestry now is natural selection. We can therefore infer that the same process is also what guided divergence in the past. There certainly is no alternative explanation that fits the bill.

What are the 4 stages of natural selection and explain each?
nothing
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.

What process in which organisims with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is?
natural selection
When Darwin published his theory of natural selection in 1859 he could not explain how traits were passed on to offspring what helped complete Darwin's theory of natural selection?
The discovery of discrete inheritance by Gregor Mendel. This genetic finding was combined with evolutionary findings to form the modern evolutionary synthesis that is still, with modification, the theory of evolution by natural selection today.
Is natural selection an example of macroevolution?
No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.
How does Darwin's theory of evolution explain microevolution but not macroevolution?
Those terms need to be done away with. There is no such division in the theory of evolution by natural selection, even in Darwin's time. There is evolution and speciation. One flows seamlessly into the other over time and we have myriad pieces of evidence supporting this.

What can the theory of evolution by natural selection explain about a population?
How it can change in response to its enviroment
Is it true that natural selection helps explain how new species develop?
Yes, it is true.

Explain how natural selection is at work when a species becomes extinct?
According to science, natural selection chooses the best features for the best survival. When those processes do not occur for some reason, the species does not survive.
