(c) | Divergent evolution | (iii) | Wings of Butterfly and Bird |
(d) | Evolution by anthropogenic action | (iv) | Darwin Finches |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(a) | (b) | (c) | (d) | |
1. | (ii) | (i) | (iv) | (iii) |
2. | (i) | (iv) | (iii) | (ii) |
3. | (iv) | (iii) | (ii) | (i) |
4. | (iii) | (ii) | (i) | (iv) |
Assertion(A): | Homology implies divergent evolution. |
Reason(R): | Homologous organs are organs which do similar jobs in two taxa that were not present in their most recent common ancestor but rather evolved separately. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
1. | is a determinist process. |
2. | only leads to evolution of species that are useful to humans. |
3. | usually is faster than the natural process. |
4. | is not at all related to mutations |
Assertion (A): | Only a small percentage of life-forms can be expected to be represented in fossil discoveries. |
Reason (R): | Organisms are only rarely preserved as fossils in the best of circumstances, and only a fraction of such fossils have been discovered. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Assertion (A): | Dark melanic peppered moth survive better in polluted environments. |
Reason (R): | In polluted areas, dark melanic moths are able to camouflage themselves. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
