Question

Darwinism cannot explain?

  1. Variation
  2. Adaptation
  3. Struggle for existence
  4. Vestigial organs

hintHint:

Vestigal or over specialized organs are those that have outgrown their function.

The correct answer is: Vestigial organs


    Vestigial or over-specialized organs are those that have outgrown their function. They have become a barrier to the animal, such as branching antlers of deer, elephant tusks, and so on. Darwin's theory cannot explain the purpose of existence of vestigial organs.

    ___________ is the driving force of evolution.    

    • The changes can occur in many forms.
    • With time small changes occur in the organism and these make them different than other animals of the same category. Thus variations occur. 
    • Mutations are sudden changes that occur at the molecular level, it changes the genome of an organism.
    • Sexual reproduction is also a source of change. As it also causes variations in offspring's. At the time of gamete formation some changes occurs due to recombination.
    • So, among all the changes that occurs with time only those will develop that help the organism to remain alive.
    • This is called natural selection.
