The 3 factors that provide evidence in favour of evolution in organism are :
♦ Fossils♦ Homologous Organs♦ Analogous Organs
Roles :
♦ Fossils:Fossils are the remains of dead animals & plants of the ancient time that got stuck in rocks. Fossils provide a linkage between existing & pre-existing species. Fossils found closer to the the earth's surface are of complex & recent organisms. As we dig deeper, fossils of simple organisms are obtained. This geographical succession completely agrees with the concept of evolution.
♦ Homologous Organs :Homologous organs have same origin & anatomical structure but perform different functions. Presence of homologous organs among organisms tells that there existed a common ancestor for them from whom this structure was inherited by them. Homologous organs show the closeness of organisms. The more homologous organs they have, more recently they had a common ancestor. Homologous organs exhibit divergent evolution.
Eg : Forelimb of Humans & Wings of Bat
♦ Analogous Organs :Analogous organs have different origin & anatomical structure but have same function. They exhibit convergent evolution. This means that the organisms evolved from a common ancestor long ago which do not have the organ. Analogous organs were independently developed by the organisms after separation from the ancient ancestor. For instance, birds, insects & bats have evolved from an ancient common ancestor without wings. Their wings were developed separately in each lineage after diverging from ancestor.
Eg : Wings of Bat & Wings of Birds
