Yes. In fact, microevolution, or allelic variance, is the mechanism by which new species emerge. Such an emergence is part of what some people call macroevolution. In other words, microevolution is the mechanism by which macroevolution is produced.

The only taxonomic category in which microevolution can occur is the?
species
Why is microevolution claimed by creationists and evolutionary scientists?
AnswerMicroevolution is evolution that has taken place within a species to such a limited extent that the result is not yet an entirely new species.Many creationists are willing to accept the reality of microevolution because, even in large mammals, the timeframe for microevolution is so short that we can readily see that it has occurred. To a creationist, there is an important distinction between microevolution and macroevolution, where evolution has already continued until the change is so apparent that a new species must be defined. If they accept the fact of macroevolution, then they must accept the Theory of Evolution as the explanation for life on earth.Of course, scientists, or if one prefers 'evolutionists', accept that microevolution is the first step on the path to macroevolution, and they accept that this is explained by the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. Not all instances of microevolution continue on to macroevolution and the creation of new species. In some cases, a limited adaptation is all that is necessary for the species to survive in an altered environment. In other cases, the adaptation is to slow or too late, and the species becomes extinct before it can adapt.AnswerBoth accept that there are changes within species because they are easily observed. Creationists, while acknowledging it is not evolution, see adaptations within a group which do not lead to any new genetic material and do not in any way discredit the creation of kinds by God. They accept it because of the clear scientific evidence that changes within species occur while those involving the addition of new genetic material needed for 'macroevolution' have not been proven despite the claims of some.
What is a true statement about microevolution and macroevolution?
Microevolution can lead to Microevolution
How microevolution and migration can affect an ecosystem?
Migration can negatively impact an ecosystem if the migration is permanent and leads to the loss of native species. Temporary migration, such as in the case of birds flying south in the winter, can maintain the biodiversity of an ecosystem. Microevolution, like migration, can aid the survival of native species.
What the general term for the process by which new species form?
The general term for the formation of a new species is speciation.
The only taxonomic category in which microevolution can occur is the?
species
What is the term in anthropology for small scale changes within a species?
microevolution
What terms describes changes that occur within species?
microevolution
The resistance of many bacterial species to antibiotics is an example of?
bacterial evolution (microevolution)

Is macroevolution both a fact and theory?
The terms macroevolution and microevolution were first coined in 1927 by the Russian entomologist Philipchenko. Macroevolution is the term now used to refer to any evolutionary change at or above the level of species, such as the splitting of a species into two or the change of a species over time into another species. Microevolution refers to any evolutionary change below the level of species, and can also apply to changes that are not genetic.Creationists often assert that macroevolution is not proven, even if microevolution is, apparently meaning that whenever evolution is observed it is microevolution, never macroevolution. These claims are considered a misuse of authentic scientific terms. Macro Evolution is a theory; it is also a fact.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
How does it happen macroevolution?
Macroevolution is just lots of small steps of microevolution. With many small steps a species can change so much it cannot breed with its unchanged former kin, and then it's considered a new species. If microevolution is considered seconds, macroevolution is minutes or hours. Acknowledging one exists is recognizing the other, too. ^^
What are some types of Evolution?
Some types of evolution are;1. Macroevolution: large evolutionary change, evolution of new species from a common ancestor, evolution of one species into two or more2. Microevolution: small scale, change in gene frequencies within a population over time, changes in population accumulate, they can lead to a new species
