What is microevolution and how does it occur?

Answer 1

Microevolution isn't the same as macroevolution, and they both fall under what is generally accepted as evolution.

Microevolution has been observed to occur as an animal's response to changes in its environment. Darwin's finches are often used to evidence macroevolution, even though microevolution is actually occurring. According to microevolution, one of Darwin's finches cannot become another animal or even another type of bird; instead, they must change within the boundaries of the genetic code. Macroevolution, on the other hand, has never been observed to occur and is only a theory. Macroevolution is imagined to occur when an animal's genetic code changes significantly.

Microevolution refers to small-scale changes in the gene pool of a population over a short period of time. It occurs through mechanisms such as natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
