The occurrence of endemic species in South America and Australia is because:
1. | these species have been extinct in other regions |
2. | of continental separation |
3. | there is no terrestrial route to these places |
4. | of retrogressive evolution |
If Darwin's theory of pangenesis shows similarity with the theory of inheritance of acquired characters then what will be correct according to it:
1. Useful organs become strong and developed while useless organs become extinct. These organs help in the struggle for survival
2. Size of organs increases with aging
3. Development of organs is due to willpower
4. There should be some physical basis for inheritance
Similarities in organisms with different genotypes indicate:
1. Microevolution
2. Macroevolution
3. Convergent evolution
4. Divergent evolution
Reason for diversity in living being:
1. Mutation
2. Long-term evolutionary change
3. Gradual change
4. Short-term evolutionary change

1. | Organs with anatomical similarities, but performing different functions |
2. | Organs with anatomical dissimilarities but performing the same function |
3. | Organs that have no function now, but had an important function in ancestors |
4. | Organs appear only in the embryonic stage and disappear later in the adult |
