    [a] Wings of butterfly and birds look alike and are the results of --(i)-- evolution.
    [b] Miller showed that\[C{{H}_{4}},{{H}_{2}},N{{H}_{3}}\] and --(i)--, when exposed to electric discharge in a flask resulted information of --(ii)--.
    [c] Vermiform appendix is a --(i)--organ and an--(ii)-- evidence of evolution.
    [d] According to Darwin evolution took place due to --(i)--and --(ii)--of the fittest.

    A)  [D]-(i) small variations, (ii) survival, [A]-(i) convergent,

    B)  [A]-(i) convergent, [B]-(i) oxygen, (ii) nucleosides

    C)  [B]-(i) water vapour, (ii) amino acids [C]-(i) rudimentary, (ii) anatomical

    D)  [C]-(i) vestigial, (ii) anatomical [D]-(i) mutations, (ii) multiplication

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Wings of butterfly and birds look alike and are the result of convergent evolution. Miller showed that \[C{{H}_{4}},{{H}_{2}},N{{H}_{3}}\]and water vapour, when exposed to electric discharge in a flask, resulted in formation of amino acids. Vermiform appendix is a vestigial organ and an anatomical evidence of evolution. According to Darwin, evolution took place due to small variations and survival of the fittest. Hence, option [a] is correct.
