Detailed explanation-1: -Microevolution is the change in allele frequencies that occurs over time within a population. This change is due to four different processes: mutation, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow and genetic drift.

Detailed explanation-2: -Microevolution is defined as changes in the frequency of a gene in a population. These are subtle changes that can occur in very short periods of time, and may not be visible to a casual observer.

Detailed explanation-3: -Summary. Microevolution is the process by which organisms change in small ways over time. Macroevolution refers to larger evolutionary changes that result in new species.

Detailed explanation-4: -Microevolution-evolution on its smallest scale, (ie. evolutionary change in populations). A change in allele frequencies in a population over generations.

Detailed explanation-5: -Microevolution is simply a change in gene frequency within a population. Evolution at this scale can be observed over short periods of time-for example, between one generation and the next, the frequency of a gene for brown coloration in a population of beetles increases.
