Answers (1)
The assertion is true because analogous organs are indeed the result of convergent or parallel evolution in separate lineages. Analogous organs are structures that have similar functions but have different evolutionary origins. They arise in different species that have adapted to similar environmental conditions or ecological niches.
The reason, however, is not a correct explanation of the assertion. While it is true that the eye of an octopus and the eye of a mammal are examples of analogous organs, this example alone does not fully support the assertion. Additional examples and evidence would be needed to establish the generalization that analogous organs arise as a consequence of convergent or parallel evolution in separate lineages. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
