The process by which organisms with different evolutionary history evolve similar phenotypic adaptations in response to a common environmental challenge is called:
1. Convergent evolution
2. Non-random evolution
3. Adaptive radiation
4. Natural selection

In a population of 1000 individuals, 360 belong to genotype AA, 480 to Aa and the remaining 160 to aa. Based on this data, the frequency of allele A in the population is:

Forelimbs of cat, lizard used in walking; forelimbs of whale used in swimming and forelimbs of bats used in flying are an example of:

1. Analogous organs

2. Adaptive radiation

3. Homologous organs

4. Convergent evolution

Which one of the following are analogous structures?

1. Wing of Bat and Wings of Pigeon

2. Gills of Prawn and Lungs of Man

3. Thorns of Bougainvillea and Tendrils of Cucurbita

4. Flippers of Dolphin and Legs of Horse.

Variation in gene frequencies within populations can occur by chance rather than by natural selection. 
This is referred to as:

1. Genetic drift

2. Random mating

3. Genetic load

4. Genetic flow

Evolution of different species in a given area starting from a point and spreading to other geographical areas is known as:

1. Adaptive radiation

2. Natural selection

3. Migration

4. Divergent evolution

Which one of the following options gives one correct example of convergent evolution and divergent evolution?

The extinct human who lived 100000 to 40000 years ago, in Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa, with short stature, heavy eyebrows, retreating for heads, large jaws with heavy teeth, stocky bodies, a lumbering gait, and stooped posture was:

1. Homo habilis

2. Neanderthal human

3. Cro-Magnon humans

4. Ramapithecus
