Match List-I with List-II with respect to convergent evolution: array |l|l|l|l| & List-I & & List-II A. & Lemur & I. & Flying phalanger B. & Bobcat & II. & Numbat C. & Anteater & III. & Spotted cuscus D. & Flying squirrels & IV. & Tasmanian tiger cat array Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- BA-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
- CA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
- DA-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
Correct answer
A. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Step-by-step solution
The correct answer is option (1), because - Lemur is a placental mammal, shows convergent evolution with spotted cuscus which is an Australian marsupial. - Bobcat is a placental mammal, shows convergent evolution with Tasmanian tiger cat which is an Australian marsupial. - Anteater is a placental mammal, shows convergent evolution with Numbat which is an Australian marsupial. - Flying squirrel is a placental mammal, shows convergent evolution flying Phalanger which is Australian marsupial
