What is micro-evolution? Does it explain speciation?
(N/A) Micro-evolution refers to the small-scale changes in allele frequencies within a population over a few generations,which alter the common characteristics of a particular species.
It does not fully explain speciation,as speciation involves significant evolutionary changes that lead to the formation of new,reproductively isolated species,whereas micro-evolution only accounts for minor variations within an existing species.
