Biology Question on human reproduction
Which of the following is not applicable for Divergent evolution ?
A
(A) A common ancestor
B
(B) Exposed to Different habitat
C
(C) Homologous organ
D
(D) Analogous organ
Answer
(D) Analogous organ
Explanation
Solution
Explanation:
Analogous structures refer to biological structures with comparable functions and yet they differ in regard to the developmental origin and anatomical features, but in divergent evolution, species from a common ancestral origin evolve similar anatomical parts (called homologous structures) but with dissimilar functions. Therefore Analogous organ structures is not applicable for Divergent evolution.Hence, the correct option is (D).
