Question

Which of the following is an example of microevolution? A caterpillar changes form into a butterfly. A population of birds with red feathers slowly changes to having blue feathers. A dinosaur species evolves over time into a bird species. A black cat has kittens with white spots.

Answer 1

the correct answer is:

B) A population of birds with red feathers slowly changes to having blue feathers.

this happens due to mutation

Answer 2

The answer is :
A population of birds with red feathers slowly changes to having blue feathers

Microevolution is a change in allele frequencies and can be caused by mutations, selection (natural and artificial), gene flow or genetic drift.

What's different from macroevolution is that this change happens over a shorter time when compared to macroevolution which is when big differences in the population happen.

From the options, a change in the colors of fethers seems like a microevolution that happened due to a mutation in the population over a period of time.
