What is a true statement about microevolution and macroevolution?
Microevolution refers to small-scale changes in gene frequencies within a population over generations, while macroevolution involves large-scale evolutionary changes that lead to the formation of new species. Both processes are driven by genetic variation, natural selection, and other evolutionary mechanisms. Microevolution is the basis for macroevolution, as accumulated small changes can eventually result in the divergence of distinct species.
Which is not part of macroevolution?
Microevolution is not part of macroevolution. Microevolution involves small-scale changes within a species over a shorter period of time, while macroevolution involves larger scale changes that lead to the formation of new species over a longer period of time.
What statement about microevolution and macroevolution is true?
Described by the definition for evolution. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.The prefered terms are evolution ( instead of microevolution ) and speciation ( instead of macroevolution ).
Can microevolution lead to macroevoultion?
Given the opportunity for reproductive isolation between subpopulations to develop, macroevolution seems like an inevitable consequence of microevolution. Not only can speciation occur (and not only is it observed): it's hard to imagine how it could not occur.
Can you give an example of microevolution and macroevolution?
Sure! An example of microevolution would be the change in wing color of a population of butterflies over several generations due to natural selection. On the other hand, an example of macroevolution would be the development of a new species from a population of organisms over millions of years, such as the evolution of whales from land-dwelling mammals.

Is genetic drift an example of macroevolution?
No, genetic drift is an example of microevolution.

Is macroevolution both a fact and theory?
The terms macroevolution and microevolution were first coined in 1927 by the Russian entomologist Philipchenko. Macroevolution is the term now used to refer to any evolutionary change at or above the level of species, such as the splitting of a species into two or the change of a species over time into another species. Microevolution refers to any evolutionary change below the level of species, and can also apply to changes that are not genetic.Creationists often assert that macroevolution is not proven, even if microevolution is, apparently meaning that whenever evolution is observed it is microevolution, never macroevolution. These claims are considered a misuse of authentic scientific terms. Macro Evolution is a theory; it is also a fact.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation

How does it happen macroevolution?
Macroevolution is just lots of small steps of microevolution. With many small steps a species can change so much it cannot breed with its unchanged former kin, and then it's considered a new species. If microevolution is considered seconds, macroevolution is minutes or hours. Acknowledging one exists is recognizing the other, too. ^^

Are there complicated links between microevolution and macroevolution?
Microevolution is small evolutionary changes. Macroevolution is change above the specie level. Biologists debate if this process even exists. Some say they are fundamentally the same thing. It seems that macroevolution is the evolution of evolution. That sounds complicated.
