Given below are four statements (A-D) each with one or two blanks. Select the option which correctly fills up the blanks in two statements.
A) Wings of butterfly and birds look alike and are the results of ...... (i) .... evolution.
B) Miller showed that CH4, H2, NH3, and .....(i) ....., when exposed to electric discharge in a flask resulted in the information of ......(ii) .....
C) The vermiform appendix is a ..... (i) ..... organ and a ......(ii) ..... evidence of evolution.
D) according to Darwin evolution took place due to ....(i) ...... and .....(ii) .... of the fittest.
(D)-(i) small variations, (ii) survival, (A)-(i) convergent
(A)- (i) convergent, (B)-(i) oxygen,(ii) nucleosides
(B)-(i) water vapour, (ii) amino acids (C)-(i) rudimentary, (ii) anatomical
(B)-(i) water vapour, (ii) amino acids (C)-(i) rudimentary, (ii) anatomical
A.
(D)-(i) small variations, (ii) survival, (A)-(i) convergent
Wings of butterfly and birds look alike and are the result of convergent evolution. Miller showed that CH4, H2, NH3 and water vapour, when exposed to electric discharge in a flask resulted in the formation of amino acids.
the vermiform appendix is a vestigial organ and an anatomical evidence of evolution.
According to Darwin, evolution took place due to small variations and survival of the fittest hence, option (a) is correct.
The most apparent change during the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens is traced in
loss of body hair
walking upright
shortening of the jaws
