The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Homology is the similarity between organs of the same animal based on common ancestry." - This means that homologous organs have similar structures due to evolution from a common ancestor, even if they serve different functions in different species. 2. **Identifying Examples of Homologous Organs**: - An example of homologous organs is the forelimbs of humans and kangaroos. - Both have similar bone structures (humerus, radius, ulna) but are adapted for different functions: humans use them for manipulation and walking, while kangaroos use them for jumping. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Analogy is seen in every organ system from fish to man." - This refers to analogous organs, which are different in structure but perform similar functions across different species. 4. **Identifying Examples of Analogous Organs**: - An example of analogous organs is the gills of fish and the lungs of humans. - Both serve the same function of respiration but are structurally different. 5. **Evaluating the Truth of the Statements**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true statements. - However, the reason does not directly explain the assertion; it discusses a different concept (analogy) rather than elaborating on homology. 6. **Conclusion**: - Since both statements are true but the reason does not explain the assertion, the correct answer is that both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The correct answer is **B**: Both assertion and reason are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Assertion :-Analogous organs show common ancestory. Reason :-Analogous organ show evolution.

[A]: Homologous organs are similar in basic structure and embryonic origin, but serve dif- ferent functions. [R]: Similarity in basic structure points to common ancestry whereas diversity in func- tion reflects adaptation to different modes of life.

A: Similarities in proteins and genes performing a given function among diverse organisms give clue to coomon ancestry. R: All the group of vertebrates arises from the common ancestor with great adaptation capability.

[A]: Homologous organs have similar struc- ture but different functions. [R]: It is believed that homologous structures were created for different purposes and their present function is secondarily achieved out of necessity

Give one significant difference between Homologous organs and Analogous organs

What are homologous organs? How do they differ from the analogous organs? How does the study of comparative anatomy provide evidence in favour of organic evolution?

[A] : Living organisms are like a close system . [R] : Energy in the organisms neither can be lost nor gained from the another environment .

Read the following statements. a. A group of similar cells along with intercellular substances performing a specific function form a tissue. b. All members of kingdom animalia consists of only four basic type of tissues. c. When two or more organs perform a common function by their physical or chemical interaction that together form an organ system. d. The organ stomach in humans has all four types of tissues. How many above statements are correct?

A student performs an experiment to determine how the range of a ball depends on the velocity with which it is projected. The "range" is the distance between the points where the ball lends and from where it was projected, assuming it lands at the same height from which it was projected. It each trial, the student uses the same baseball, and launches it at the same angle. Table shows the experimental results. |{:("Trail","Launch speed" (m//s),"Range"(m)),(1,10,8),(2,20,31.8),(3,30,70.7),(4,40,122.5):}| Based on this data, the student then hypothesizes that the range, R, depends on the initial speed v_(0) according to the following equation : R=Cv_(0)^(n) , where C is a constant and n is another constant. Based on this data, the best guess for the value of n is :-
