Yes, evolution is closely related to DNA. Changes in DNA, such as mutations, are the raw material for evolution by natural selection. Over time, these changes can accumulate and lead to the development of new species through the process of evolution.
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By sequencing genes one can see this happen. Also just observing the morphological and behavioral changes in populations over time can lead to evidence supporting evolution. Check Lenski and his E. coli experiments. Over 20 years evolution was observed in these microorganisms. Fairly easy Google.
Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Alleles are different molecular forms of the same gene and when their frequency changes in a population it indicates " hard " inheritance has taken place; the only type of inheritance that leads to evolution. Building bigger muscles during you lifetime can not pass the bigger muscles on to your progeny, thus mo evolution in any population.
This is an example of coevolution, where the evolution of one organism directly influences the evolution of another. Coevolution can lead to a series of reciprocal adaptations between the two species over time.
Evolution is the process of change in species over time, while natural selection is a mechanism by which evolution occurs. Natural selection acts on genetic variation within a population, favoring traits that increase an individual's chances of survival and reproduction in a given environment. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population, leading to evolutionary change.

Individuals are constantly evolving - False. Populations are constantly evolving - True. Evolution involves descent with modification - True. Acquired characteristics lead to evolution - False.
Macro-evolution. Or, more accurately, speciation.
Acquired characteristics acquired during an organism's lifetime cannot be passed on to offspring according to modern evolutionary theory. Evolution is driven by genetic variations that are inherited and can lead to changes in a population over time through natural selection.

Only one single event was necessary for some form of evolution to begin: the emergence of self-replicating agents. When modern (cellular) life emerged from those agents, Darwinian evolution began.
Evolution is. Evolution is not progressive, directional or linear. That prediction on where human evolution will lead cannot be made. Evolution occurs when a certain trait increases an individual's odds of reproducing at a given time. It can be something as minor as eyes set further apart or a straighter nose. It fluxes within populations even in succeeding generations.

Yes. Genetic drift-- the change in allelic frequencies of a population due to chance-- can play a major role in evolution. The effects of drift are most pronounced in small, isolated populations. Drift can bring alleles to fixation very quickly in such populations, and can lead to genetic differentiation between them, possibly contributing to speciation.
