Blog #3 Microevolution

Microevolution is the change in the gene frequency within a population or species. Microevolution occurs in four different ways. The first way is mutation, next is natural selection or artificial selection. In addition another process is gene flow and a genetic  drift. Microevolution is the result from small specific genetic changes that can lead to a new subspecies. Microevolution occurs usually when there is a environmental change. It occurs so that a species has some differences or sometimes creating a new species. This is because the environment is changing so the species need to adapt along with the changing climate. In the movie the Future is Wild the modern day animals evolve into a different animal completely so that they can survive in the changed climate and environment.   answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090920160125AA1tK3Uhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_variation
