The presence of which organs will confirm to him that they share evolutionary history? Homologous organs None of the any Paralogous organs Analogous organs 7. New species may be formed if I. DNA undergoes significant changes in germ cells. . II. chromosome number changes in the gamete. III. there is no change in the genetic material. IV. mating does not take place. I and II I and III I, II and III II, III and IV 8. Which of the following statements is not true with respect to variation? Change in genetic composition results in variation. Selection of variants by environmental factors forms the basis of evolutionary processes. Variation is minimum in asexual reproduction. All variations in a species have equal chance of survival 9. Select the statement that describes characteristics of genes. . In individuals of a given species, a specific gene is located on a particular chromosome. Genes are specific sequence of bases in a DNA molecule. A gene does not code for proteins. Each chromosome has only one gene. 10.
