An important evidence in favour of organic evolution is the occurrence of - 1.Homologus and vestigial organs 2.Analogus and vestigial organs 3.Homologus organs only 4.Homologus and analogus organs

Mayank Chowdhary 28th Jan, 2020

Homologous and vestigial organs that is option number 1 is the correct answer.

Homologous organs have a common origin and are built on the same basic fundamental principle but they have variant appearance and perform different functions as well. At the same time, Vestigial organs had important functions in the

What is Plica semilunaris in evolution?

Suryashis Chakraborty 28th Jan, 2020

Hello Isshika,

The plica semilunaris is a fold of the conjunctiva at the inner corner of the human eye.

The similarity to the nictitating membrane, or third eyelid, of other animals led to the conjecture that it might be the vestige of such a structure, which is still a part

what is connecting link please answer with the reference of evolution

Khushi 26th Jan, 2020

Hello!!

The organisms which shows the features of two different groups is called connecting link.

This type of organisms show the evolution of advanced group from the primitive group through transitional form.see if you want a very simple example you can think of a virus it is a connecting link

what is anthopogenic evolution please tell someone?

Khushi 26th Jan, 2020

Hello!

It is the evolution in other organisms due to the human interference or activities.

In ncert you will get a very popular example of melanic or industrial melanism.

In 1850 the environmental condition of Britain was very less polluting,in that environment predation of melanic moth by the birds was

what is parallel evolution please tell me?

prerna vats 26th Jan, 2020

Hello !

Parallel evolutions is generally the development of similar trait in two different species which are not closely related. They share a similar original trait due to similar evolutionary pressure. In this way, the evolution is kind of parallel due to which it is called parallel evolution .

what is convergent evolution polease tell?

prerna vats 26th Jan, 2020

Hello !.


Convergent evolution is basically when the anatomy of some parts of animals are same but their function is different due to the difference in the surrounding or environmental condition. For example , forelimbs of tetrapods. The anatomy is same but functions are different.

how does evolution takes place?

Khushi 26th Jan, 2020

Hello!

New traits can also come from transfer of genes between populations, as in migration, or between species, in horizontal gene transfer. Evolution occurs when these heritable differences become more common or rare in a population, either non-randomly through natural selection or randomly through genetic drift.

what is definition of evolution in biology?

Kashish 13th Jul, 2020
Hey!

The theory of evolution is based on the idea that allspecies are related and gradually change over time.

Evolution relies on there beinggenetic variation in a population which affects the physical characteristics (phenotype) of an organism.

Some of these characteristics may give the individual an advantage over other individuals

evidence of evolution plz tell me the strongest one

Khushi 26th Jan, 2020

Hello!!

One of the strongest evidences for common descent comes from gene sequences. Comparative sequence analysis examines the relationship between the DNA sequences of different species, producing several lines ofevidence that confirm Darwin's original hypothesis of common descent.
