The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the term that describes evolution at the genetic level due to changes in hereditary material within a population. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Macro Evolution**: This term refers to large-scale evolutionary changes that occur at or above the level of species. It does not focus on genetic changes within populations. - **Option B: Micro Evolution**: This term refers to small-scale evolutionary changes that occur within a population, particularly at the genetic level. It involves changes in allele frequencies and genetic variation over time. - **Option C: Saltation**: This term refers to sudden and large mutational changes that can lead to speciation in a single step. It is not specifically about gradual genetic changes within a population. - **Option D: Sports**: This term is not relevant to the context of evolutionary changes at the genetic level. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: After analyzing all the options, it is clear that the term that best fits the description of evolution at the genetic level in populations is **Micro Evolution**. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **Option B: Micro Evolution**. ---
