A) Wings of butterfly and birds look alike and are the results of ...... (i) .... evolution.

B) Miller showed that CH4, H2, NH3, and .....(i) ....., when exposed to electric discharge in a flask resulted in the information of ......(ii) .....

C) The vermiform appendix is a ..... (i) ..... organ and a ......(ii) ..... evidence of evolution.

D) according to Darwin evolution took place due to ....(i) ...... and .....(ii) .... of the fittest.

  • (D)-(i) small variations, (ii) survival, (A)-(i) convergent

  • (A)- (i) convergent, (B)-(i) oxygen,(ii) nucleosides

  • (B)-(i) water vapour, (ii) amino acids (C)-(i) rudimentary, (ii) anatomical

  • (C)- (i) vestigal, (ii) anatomical (D)-(i) mutations, (ii) multiplication

Solution

A.

(D)-(i) small variations, (ii) survival, (A)-(i) convergent

Wings of butterfly and birds look alike and are the result of convergent evolution. Miller showed that CH4, H2, NH3 and water vapour, when exposed to electric discharge in a flask resulted in the formation of amino acids.
the vermiform appendix is a vestigial organ and an anatomical evidence of evolution.
According to Darwin, evolution took place due to small variations and survival of the fittest hence, option (a) is correct.
