Give reasons
Special kind of evolution has brought the similarity as seen in fins of fishes and flippers of dolphins. Name the kind of evolution also.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Convergent evolution has resulted in the similarity in fins of fishes and flippers of dolphins because these organs are analogous structures. Though different in structure and embryonic origin, they perform the same function in aquatic habitats.

Read the given passage and answer the questions number 1 to 5 that follow: The substitution reaction of alkyl halide mainly occurs by S_N 1 and S_N 2 mechanism. Whatever mechanism alkyl halides follow for the substitution reaction to occur, the polarity of the carbon halogen bond is responsible for these substitution reactions. The rate of S_N 1 reactions are governed by the stability of carbocation whereas for S_N 2 reactions steric factor is the deciding factor. If the starting material is a chiral compound, we may end up with an inverted product or racemic mixture depending upon the type of mechanism followed by alkyl halide. Cleavage of ethers with HI also governed by steric factor and stability of carbocation, which indicates that in organic chemistry, these two major factors help us in deciding the kind of product formed 1. Predict the stereochemistry of the product formed if an optically active alkyl halide undergoes substitution reaction by S_N 1 mechanism. 2. Name the instrument used for measuring the angle by which the plane polarised light is rotated. 3. Predict the major product formed when 2-Bromopentane reacts with alcoholic KOH. 4. Give one use of CHI_3 5. Write the structures of the products formed when anisole is treated with HI.
