Answer:

The correct answer would be divergent evolution showing by homologous organs.

Explanation:

In the illustration human arm, the flipper of the dolphin, wings of bat and forearm of frog are shown. All these four forelimbs have a different function, however, these forelimbs are having the same underlying anatomy.

The organs having basic structure and origin, but different functions are known as homologous organs. These organs point towards the same ancestor from these organisms evolved. They show a case of divergent evolution.

When related species become less similar in order to adapt and survive in different conditions, evolution is called divergent evolution.

Thus, these forelimbs provide evidence for divergent evolution.

pentagon [3]

The correct answer is "Sudden changes in the somatic cells of organisms play a key role in the process of adaptive evolution". Adaption in evolution is caused by sudden gene mutations that affect an organism's offspring and give it - potentially - a better chance of survival. For example, a giraffe who passed on a mutated gene for a slightly longer neck to its offspring gave its offspring a better chance of reaching untouched food, and thus a survival advantage.

Around 100,000 years ago there was a second hominine species closely related to modern humans, Homo neanderthalensis, or commonly called the Neanderthal. Recent studies of neanderthal DNA have shown that there is 3-4% of their genes in modern humans outside of Africa, mostly from Europe, including the ones for adapting to the cold and vitamin D absorption.
