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. |
