Question
Some argue that intricate structures such as the vertebrate eye could not be the product of evolution because they are irreducibly complex. By this they mean that:
the initial steps leading to these structures would not have had a selective advantage.
chance alone cannot create complexity.
mutations are generally deleterious and therefore cannot create complex adaptations.
the complexity of life cannot be explained by reductionist mechanisms such as evolution.
there is no evidence for the transitional forms needed to explain the evolution of complexity.
*Select the correct answer and give reasoning to wrong answers if possible.
a.the initial steps leading to these structures would not have had a selective advantage.
b.chance alone cannot create complexity.
c.mutations are generally deleterious and therefore cannot create complex adaptations.
d.the complexity of life cannot be explained by reductionist mechanisms such as evolution.
e.there is no evidence for the transitional forms needed to explain the evolution of complexity.
Explanation / Answer
option C
Mutation is a process in which there is change in DNA. Any structure there is a development of that structure is disorganized manner. Result is there is no continuous development
