| Assertion (A): | Ernst Haeckel’s proposal for embryological support for evolution was disapproved by Karl Ernst von Baer. |
| Reason (R): | Karl Ernst von Baer noted that embryos pass through the adult stages of other animals. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
Similar biological structures or sequences in different taxa are homologous if they:
| 1. | always perform the same function |
| 2. | result from convergent evolution |
| 3. | do not serve any known function |
| 4. | are derived from a common ancestor |
| Statement I: | Homologous organs perform different functions but have similar origins. |
| Statement II: | Analogous organs perform similar functions but have different origins. |
| 1. | Statement I is True but Statement II is False. |
| 2. | Statement I is False but Statement II is True. |
| 3. | Both Statements are True. |
| 4. | Both statements are False. |
| Statement I: | The eye of the octopus and of mammals is an example of an analogy. |
| Statement II: | Analogous organs are results of convergent evolution. |
| Assertion(A): | Vestigial structures can be considered evidence for evolution. |
| Reason(R): | Vestigial structures are often homologous to structures that are functioning normally in other species. |
| 1. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 1. | have a common ancestor |
| 2. | live in the same types of environments |
| 3. | are no longer undergoing evolution |
| 4. | have gotten rid of all their vestigial structures |
