Macroevolution In The Book Of Life

854 Words2 Pages

The purpose behind this essay is to explain the differences in modern evolution and post evolution. I will break down the importance of microevolution and macroevolution and how meiosis can be considered a part of evolution. I will explain the evolution of Vertebrates and mammals all while explaining the definition of species according to biological species and recognition species concept. This essay should bring out the true definition and explanation of evolution and all the concepts that go with it like the evolutionary process and explaining the definitions of “jerks” and “creeps” as explained in our film The Book of Life: Genetics and evolution.

An example of microevolution is a small group with almost identical genes, however a small percentage of a gene strain could be different, like the color of that specific group. That same group has repopulated and that small percentage has increased meaning the gene is involving. The example of Macroevolution is humans because it occurs on a wide spectrum. Depending on the location and environment the changes in micro and macroevolution differ. Tropical species also generally evolve at a faster rate than do those from colder temperate climates. For Macroevolution the process of change is slow, while microevolution is a faster process. Microevolution can lead to macroevolution because it can be caused by mutation, genetic drift, and natural selection.
The definition of species according to the biological species concept depicting a species as groups of individuals that are capable of interbreeding, and are reproductively isolated from other groups (lesson 4). The definition of recognition species concept is similar to the definition of species of biological, however Individuals must recognize each other as members of their own species for purposes of mating (lesson
