Question

When individuals of the same species are reproductively isolated, genetic differences may accumulate in sufficient number so that new species could emerge. What would such an event be an example of:__________

Answer 1

Answer:

macroevolution

Explanation:

Macroevolution is said to be the evolutionary changes that occur on a larger scale beyond a single species as a result of evolutionary forces such as mutation, gene flow, genetic drift. Macroevolution, unlike microevolution, usually results into the emergence of two new species with pronounced changes. The event as illustrated in the question is an example of macroevolution.
