You have seen many examples of how form fits function at all levels of the biological hierarchy. However, we can imagine forms that would function better than some forms actually found in nature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formed from its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet also hold objects with its forelimbs. Describe the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explain why there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.

However, we can imagine forms thatwould function better than some forms actually found innature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formedfrom its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet alsohold objects with its forelimbs. In a short essay (100–150words), use the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explainwhy there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.arrow_forwardTrue or False: The presence of vestigial structures in humans (such as tailbones) provides support for an evolutionary hypothesisarrow_forwardMention the order of evolution of different life forms of evolution of man in stages using tabular form/flow chart ( please if possible try to refer to the content of NCERT Biology)arrow_forward

Describe two examples of vestigial structures that you can find among the Caminalcules. These are structures that have been reduced to the point that they are virtually useless. Ear muscles and the tail bones are examples of vestigial structures in our own species. Explain how vestigial structures provide clues about a species' evolutionary past. Illustrate your argument with vestigial structures found in humans or other real species.arrow_forwardMost animals show derived characteristics (character states) that differentiate them from their common ancestor (ancestral character state). However, evolution can also move in reverse, involving the change of a derived character state back to an ancestral state. Provide two examples from invertebrates of such ‘reverse evolution’ from a derived state (specialized state) back to a more ancestral character state. Make sure to use examples provided in this class.

- Mention the order of evolution of different life forms of evolution of man in stages using proper tabular form/flow chart.arrow_forwardMany species of mammals have complex eyes that are capable of sight. The function of sight is a result of the structure of the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. Removing one of these structures from an organism disrupts the function of sight. Therefore, sight would be best described as an example of a(n) .

Why do we have these particular five tastes? What does each one detect on a molecular level? What do you think the evolutionary advantage is for each? Finally, how has our environment changed to make some of these "tastes" change from an advantage to a disadvantage in an evolutionary sense.arrow_forwardPeople who object to evolution sometimes assert that complex organs such as eyes are irreducibly complex, and therefore couldn't have arisen through evolution.
