Question

A change in relative abundance of an allele (allelic frequency) within a population over a succession of generation is called as

• A. Microevolution
• B. Macroevolution
• C. Phylogenetic evolution
• D. Coevolution

Answer 1

The correct option is A Microevolution

Microevolution is the change in the genome, or gene pool, for a given species in a relatively short period of geologic time by the alterations of successfully reproducing individuals within a population.
Macroevolution is evolution on a scale of separated gene pools. Macro evolutionary studies focus on change that occurs at or above the level of species, in contrast with micro-evolution, which refers to smaller evolutionary changes within a species or population.
In biology, coevolution is the change of a biological object triggered by the change of a related object.
Phylogenetic evolution is not the change in the relative abundance of an allele with in a population over a succession of generation.
