The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "The eye of octopus and eye of cat show different patterns of structure, yet they perform similar function. This is an example of," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structures**: - The eye of the octopus and the eye of the cat are both organs that serve the function of vision. However, they have different anatomical structures. The octopus has a camera-type eye similar to that of vertebrates, but the internal structure and development are quite different. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: - We need to differentiate between homologous and analogous organs. - **Homologous organs** are those that have a similar structure and origin but may serve different functions (e.g., the forelimbs of humans and bats). - **Analogous organs** are those that serve similar functions but have different structures and origins (e.g., the wings of birds and insects). 3. **Analyzing the Example**: - In this case, the eyes of the octopus and cat serve the same function (vision) but have different structures and origins. This indicates that they are analogous organs. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since the eyes of the octopus and cat have evolved separately to perform the same function in response to similar environmental needs, this is an example of **convergent evolution**. Thus, the correct answer to the question is that the eye of the octopus and the eye of the cat are examples of **analogous organs**. ### Final Answer: The eye of octopus and eye of cat are examples of **analogous organs**. ---
