Which of the following statements correctly explain the structural similarities shown in diagrams A and B?
I. Structural similarities in diagram A are primarily due to random mutations, not common ancestry.
II. Structural similarities in diagram B are due to the fact that they both perform similar functions.
III. Diagram A depicts analogous structures, and diagram B depicts homologous structures.
A. II and III only
B. I and II only
C. II only
D. I, II and III
参考答案:
C
本题详细解析:
Choice C is correct because only statement II correctly explains the structural similarities.
The bird and insect wings are similar due to convergent evolution. Statement III is incorrect because diagram A depicts homologous structures, and diagram B depicts analogous structures. Statement I is incorrect because humans and bats evolved from a common ancestor, and random mutations slowly gave rise to differences in the pentadactyl limb between different species. Choices A, B and D are all incorrect because they include either statements I or III, or both.
