Miroevolution is the change in allele frequency overtime in populations of organisms not leading to speciation; below the taxa level. Macroevolution is speciation.
This terminology is not favored by many biologists because there is some implied difference in processes. That is to get from micro to macro. Actually evolution long enough is macro. So, many biologist prefer the terms.

What statement about microevolution and macroevolution is true?
Described by the definition for evolution. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.The prefered terms are evolution ( instead of microevolution ) and speciation ( instead of macroevolution ).
What is true about microevolution and macroevolution?
Micro evolution can lead to macroevolution
Microevolution can be described as?
Described by the definition for evolution. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. Many biologists, myself included, do not like the terms micro and macro evolution. The prefered terms many of us use are; evolution ( instead of microevolution ) speciation ( instead of macroevolution )
Are there complicated links between microevolution and macroevolution?
Microevolution is small evolutionary changes. Macroevolution is change above the specie level. Biologists debate if this process even exists. Some say they are fundamentally the same thing. It seems that macroevolution is the evolution of evolution. That sounds complicated.
What type of evolution with small scale changes in genes is called?
Some would call that microevolution. I would not. Some divide evolution into micro and macro. Evolutionary biologists prefer to use the terms evolution and speciation.

What is micro-evolution?
Microevolution is the change in allele frequencies brought about by mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection below the species level. Over time, microevolution can translate into macroevolution, which is larger scale change above the species level.Microevolution is simply a change in gene frequency within a population. Evolution at this scale can be observed over short periods of time.
Scientists break down evolution into which two categories?
There are no separate types of evolution. Evolution is the changing of allele frequencies within populations. This definition encompasses all evolution, from adaptation within a species to the emergence of new major taxa from existing taxa (eg. the emergence of birds from dinosaurs).
