Ans 1) True
In the morphological divergence, there is a change is morphology from the common ancestor. It is when one species adapts in different ways so that it is able to adapt to the environment and the divergence make it different from its ancestors.
2) D) All of them are homologous.
Homologous structures are those which have undergone convergent evolution. They appear different in different animals but have common anatomical descent.
Ans 3) a) How well individual survive and reproduce compared to other individuals of same species
The fitness in evolutionary terms means the ability of the organism to survive and how well it is able to reproduce amongst the same species.
Ans 5) Population/individual
The natural selection process occurs on a complete population but it has evolutionary consequence on the individuals. This means the individuals which are fit are selected naturally for the survival in the survival of the fittest.
Ans 6) Taxonomy
It is the branch of science which deals with the classification of the organisms based on their characteristics.
