Question

Which of the following is not applicable for Divergent evolution ?

• (A) A common ancestor
• (B) Exposed to Different habitat
• (C) Homologous organ
• (D) Analogous organ

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Explanation:
Analogous structures refer to biological structures with comparable functions and yet they differ in regard to the developmental origin and anatomical features, but in divergent evolution, species from a common ancestral origin evolve similar anatomical parts (called homologous structures) but with dissimilar functions. Therefore Analogous organ structures is not applicable for Divergent evolution.Hence, the correct option is (D).
