Answer:
The correct answer is option b, that is, an exaptation.
Explanation:
The co-option or the associated term exaptation illustrates a shift in the activity of a trait at the time of evolution. For example, a trait can evolve as it performed one specific activity, however, afterwards, it may start to perform another function. It is common in both behavior and anatomy.
A classic illustration of exaptation is feathers of birds, at the start they were evolved for monitoring temperature, however, afterwards they were amended for flight. Thus, if the given hypothesis is accurate than the modern wings of insects are an example of exaptation.
Adaptive radiation refers to the diversification of an array of organisms to hold a distinct ecological niche. The origination of mutation takes place because of the errors in the replication of DNA. The hox genes in the insects assist them to specify that what appendages will get produced in a segment.
Gregor Mendel was an important scientist, considered to be the founder of the science of genetics. His experiments on the crossbreeding of plants and the passing down of favourable traits, led him to establish the laws of Mendelian inheritance. He was using pea plants for his experiments and he was studying seven different pea traits: pea shape and color, pod shape and color, flower color, plant size and position of flowers.
