Vedclass · Answer

(A) The correct matching is as follows:$(W)$ Placental mammals and Australian marsupials represent convergent evolution because they evolved similar traits independently in similar habitats.$(X)$ Darwin's finches are a classic example of adaptive radiation,where different species evolved from a common ancestor.$(Y)$ The long neck of a giraffe is a classic example used to explain Lamarckism (theory of inheritance of acquired characters).$(Z)$ Forelimbs of whale and bat are homologous organs,which indicate divergent evolution (common ancestry).Thus,the correct sequence is $W-ii, X-i, Y-iv, Z-iii$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(W)$ Placental mammals and Australian marsupials	$(i)$ Adaptive radiation
$(X)$ Darwin's finches	$(ii)$ Convergent evolution
$(Y)$ Giraffe	$(iii)$ Divergent evolution
$(Z)$ Forelimbs of whale and bat	$(iv)$ Lamarckism
