Maam what is micro evolution? Does it help in speciation? Ananyaa
Microevolution refers to change in the allele frequencies due to mutation, selection or gene flow, which takes place over time within a population.
If the changes that occur due to micro evolution are favoured by the environment then the organism can reproduce successfully and the changed allele is transferred to the new generation. Gradually with time the resulting modified organism can no longer be able to mate or breed with the original species. This gives rise to a new species with changed allele frequency, which can lead to the formation of new species.
