Students have asked these similar questions
What is Microevolution?
A) The change of a population over several generations
B) The history of a species from its origin
C) The history of all populations and their descendants
what methods will you use to determine and analyse the population and evidence of adaptation/ natural selection?
What is one important advantage of using environmental DNA (eDNA), instead of traditional field-based capture techniques, to study species distributions?
1)For a given population density and sampling effort, eDNA has a higher probability of detecting a species if it is present.
2)By looking at telomere length on the chromosomes found in an environmental
3)DNA sample, researchers can gather information about the age distribution of organisms in a population.
4)By looking at epigenetic marks on an environmental DNA sample, researchers can gather information about the health of the organisms in a population.
5)All of the above

Microevolution describes the evolution of small organisms, such as insects, while macroevolution describes the evolution of large organisms, like people and elephants. b. Microevolution describes the evolution of microscopic entities, such as molecules and proteins, while macroevolution describes the evolution of whole organisms. c. Microevolution describes the evolution of populations, while macroevolution describes the emergence of new species over long periods of time. d. Microevolution describes the evolution of organisms over their lifetimes, while macroevolution describes the evolution of organisms over multiple generations.arrow_forward
