Summary Introduction

To describe: The evolutionary trend that leads to the evolution of image-forming eyes quickly in most of the animals.

Introduction: Rapid and more quick evolution of certain organs are termed as accelerated evolution. One of the main causes of rapid evolution is natural selection and the use and disuse of organs that create pressure to evolve. The beneficial organs for survival are evolved quickly in comparison to the other organs.

For each of the following, match the pattern with its description. Not all terms will be used. Although the eyes of the octopus and vertebrates have evolved entirely independently, each has a retina, cornea, iris, lens, and a fluid-filled interior. These similarities of structure, despite different origins, provide a classic example of .... Insects and birds are far removed from one another, yet at a glance it is difficult to tell the difference between a humming bird and a humming moth. Both are the same in size, and both live off nectar in flowers, and hover in flight. This is a classic example of.... The apple maggot fly once infested the fruit of a native Australian hawthorn tree. In the 1860s some maggot flies began to infest apples. They multiplied rapidly because they were able to make use of an abundant food supply. Now there are two distinct species, one that reproduces when the apples are ripe, and another that continues to infest the native hawthor tree. This is an example…
