Question

Which among them is not an evidence that indicates evolution from a common ancestor?

• A. Fossils
• B. DNA sequence studies
• C. Analogous organs
• D. Homologous organs

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Analogous organs

Analogous structures do not have to have the same evolutionary path. One analogous structure may have come into existence long ago, while the analogous match on another species may be relatively new. They may go through different developmental and functional stages before they are fully alike. Analogous structures are not necessarily evidencing that two species came from a common ancestor.
