Speciation is an example of macroevolution. The slow transition of land tetrapods to whales, the transition of small, many toed creatures into horses. These are not linear so much as branching progressions with the occasional dead end. Darwin's finches are a modern example of macroevolution by adaptive radiation.
speciation
Birds are reptiles.
An example of macroevolution is the evolution of whales from land-dwelling mammals to fully aquatic creatures over millions of years. This involves significant genetic and morphological changes at the species level, resulting in new species with distinct characteristics.
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.
The six patterns of macroevolution are stasis, gradualism, punctuated equilibrium, adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, and extinction.
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.
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.
No, genetic drift is an example of microevolution.
No, natural selection is the mechanism that drivesevolution.

The branching of species into different groups, such as the evolution of mammals from a common ancestor with reptiles, is an example of macroevolution. This process involves large-scale changes over extended periods of time, resulting in the formation of new species and higher taxonomic groups.
