What is Microevolution?
Microevolution refers to the small changes that occur within a species due to mutations in genes resulting in new alleles. Over a long time, many microevolutionary changes will result in a macroevolutionary change which is an evolution on a larger scale which is what we are better at noticing.
This video will go through microevolution and macroevolution in a little more depth.
Microevolutionary Changes Examples
