The idea of mutation was brought forth by:
1. | Hardy Weinberg, who worked on allele frequencies in a population. |
2. | Charles Darwin, who observed a wide variety of organisms during the sea voyage. |
3. | Hugo do Vries, who worked on evening primrose. |
4. | Gregor Mendel, who worked on PisumSativum. |

The eye of an octopus and the eye of a cat show different patterns of structure, yet they perform similar functions. This is an example of:
1. | Homologous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution. |
2. | Homologous organs that have evolved due to divergent evolution. |
3. | Analogous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution. |
4. | Analogous organs that have evolved due to divergent evolution. |
