Evolution and Genetics Quiz

Microevolution involves changes within a population's gene pool, while macroevolution involves large-scale changes resulting in the formation of new species. (correct)

Microevolution leads to the emergence of new traits, while macroevolution leads to the extinction of species.

Microevolution only involves changes in allele frequencies, while macroevolution involves changes at the species level.

Microevolution occurs over short timescales, while macroevolution occurs over long geological timescales.

It defines a species based on shared physical characteristics and traits.

It classifies species according to their genetic similarity and relatedness.

It categorizes species based on their ecological niche and habitat preferences.

It defines a species as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce viable offspring. (correct)

It is the reduced viability or fertility of hybrid offspring in subsequent generations. (correct)

It indicates the genetic compatibility between two different species.

It refers to the initial sterility of hybrid offspring between two different species.

It describes the successful adaptation of hybrids to new environments.
