Question

An important evidence in favour of organic evolution is the occurrence of the following organs:

• A. Homologous and analogous organs
• B. Analogous and vestigeal organs
• C. Homologous organs only
• D. Homologous and vestigeal organs

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Homologous and vestigeal organs

Homologous and analogous structures reveal a nested hierarchy among all life on Earth that provides evidence in favour of organic evolution.

The hierarchy of organisms shows strong evidence of common descent. Comparing embryos of different animals shows similarities and relationships.
