What is true of macroevolution? A) It is the same as microevolution, but includes the origin of new species. B) It is evolution above the species level. C) It is defined as the evolution of microscopic organisms into organisms that can be seen with the naked eye. D) It is defined as a change in allele or gene frequency over the course of many generations. E) It is the conceptual link between irritability and adaptation. - ANSWER B) It is evolution above the species level. What is tr...

Scientific theories are just "ideas" (T/F) - false What is NOT considered a quality within the definition of life? Living things evolve Living things can grow and develop Living things are sentient Living things use energy - Living things are sentient In some cases an observational study is more appropriate than an experiment. (T/F) - True The oldest fossils humans have discovered are from organisms called________. - stromatolites Extant means this species still lives on...
