1.

Among the following sets of examples for divergent evolution, select the incorrect option :(1) Forelimbs of man, bat and cheetah(2) Heart of bat, man and cheetah(3) Brain of bat, man and cheetah(4) Eye of octopus, bat and man

Answer»

Correct option (4) Eye of octopus, bat and man

Explanation

Divergent evolution results in homologous structures. These organs have the same fundamental structure but are different in functions. Structural homology is seen in brain, heart and forelimbs of man, bat and cheetah.

Eyes of Octopus, bat and man are examples of analogous organs which show convergent evolution. Therefore, option (4) is incorrect.
