The concept of chemical evolution is based on

• cyrstallization of chemicals

• interaction of water, air and clay under intense heat

• effect of solar radiation on chemicals

• effect of solar radiation on chemicals

Industrial melanism as observed in peppered moth proves that

• The true black melanic forms arise by a recurring random mutation.

• The melanic form of the moth has no selective advantage over lighter form in industrial area

• The lighter-form moth has no selective advantage either in polluted industrial area or non-polluted area

• The lighter-form moth has no selective advantage either in polluted industrial area or non-polluted area

Adaptive radiation refers to

• adaptations due to geographical isolation

• evolution of different species from a common ancestor

• migration of members of a species to different geographical areas

When two species of different genealogy come to resemble each other as a result of adaptation, the phenomenon is termed

• microevolution

• co-evolution

• co-evolution
