In evolutionary terms, can we say which among bacteria, spiders, fish and chimpanzees have a ‘better’ body design? Why or why not?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In evolutionary terms, we can say that bacteria has 'better' body design than spiders fish and chimpanzees. This is because though bacteria is one of the simplest and primitive life forms but it still inhabits and survies in some of the most inhospitable (most unfavourable) habitats such as hot springs, deep-sea thermal vents and ice in Antarctica. Most other organisms (including spider, fish and chimpanzees) cannot survive in such harsh environments.
