Detailed explanation-1: -Key Concept: There Are Six Important Patterns of Macroevolution: Mass Extinctions. Adaptive Radiation.
Detailed explanation-2: -You can think of patterns as “what happened when.” All of the changes, diversifications, and extinctions that happened over the course of life’s history are the patterns of macroevolution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Convergent evolution can be both macroevolution and microevolution. Convergent evolution is when different living organisms acquire the same biological traits through independent mechanisms. These traits can arise at the species level in which case they are macroevolutionary changes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Example of macroevolutionary patterns as they would appear in a phylogenetic tree, including extinctions, adaptive radiations, and stasis.
