Think about the logic of the proces as expressed by Darwin in On the Origin of Species and be sure to give example of ecological factors that are important in the "struggle for existence".

3. Name and describe the evolutionary process that results in anlogies, providing real examples of analogous structures to support your answer.

A. Paleontology :- it is study of fossils. Fossils are the remains of the organisms. By studying the gradual advancement in fossil structure is important evidence in favour of evolution. Example are evolution of horse, amphibians etc.
