Among the following sets of examples for divergent evolution, select the incorrect option:
- ABrain of bat, man and cheetah
- BHeart of bat, man and cheetah
- CForelimbs of man, bat and cheetah
- DEye of octopus, bat and man
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
[Image comparing homologous forelimbs of man, bat, and cheetah]Divergent evolution leads to homologous organs (same origin, different function). Forelimbs, hearts, and brains of vertebrates are examples.The eye of octopus and the eye of mammals (bat/man) are analogous organs (different origin, same function), which are evidence for convergent evolution.
