Question

tricky ticks quiz
the example of pesticide resistance among deer ticks in eastern massachusetts is that of
options: macroevolution, microevolution because

Explanation:

Pesticide resistance in deer ticks (a change in allele frequencies within the tick population over time, without forming a new species) is an example of microevolution. Microevolution involves small - scale genetic changes within a population, while macroevolution involves large - scale changes like speciation. Since the tick population is evolving resistance (a genetic change within the population) without becoming a new species, it's microevolution.

Answer:

microevolution
