Question

Homologous structure provide evidence of _______ evolution

• A. Convergent
• B. Divergent
• C. Adaptive
• D. All of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A Convergent

When organisms are grouped on the basis of morphological and anatomical similarities, they show their relationship with each other and their origin from some common ancestor. The similarities are reflected by homologous organs and analogous organs. Homologous organs are similar in origin and fundamental structure but are different in function and appearance. Homologous structures provide evidence of divergent evolution or adaptive divergence.

So, the correct answer is 'Convergent'.
