Match List - I with List - II.
| List – I | List – II |
|---|---|
| (A) Convergent evolution | (I) Adaptive radiation |
| (B) Thorns of Bougainvillea and tendrils of cucurbits | (II) Analogous Structures |
| (C) Darwin's finches | (III) Use and disuse of organs |
| (D) Lamarck | (IV) Homologous organs |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)
(A) Convergent evolution — this matches (II) Analogous Structures. Different structures evolve for the same function.
(B) Thorns of Bougainvillea and tendrils of cucurbits — this matches (IV) Homologous organs. Same origin, different functions.
(C) Darwin’s finches — this matches (I) Adaptive radiation. Many varieties from one ancestor.
(D) Lamarck — this matches (III) Use and disuse of organs. His explanation of evolution.
