Theoretical studies of the evolution of the eye revealed that
A) approximately 1,800 incremental changes of 1% could allow the eye to evolve from a single photo receptor to a spherical gradient lens.
B) it would take more than 10 million years for the eye to evolve in an aquatic species with a short generation time.
C) it was built by artificial selection in no more than 500 years.
D) after 1,800 changes, an eye would still be in the photo receptor phase.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Theoretical studies have shown that approximately 1,800 incremental changes of 1% each could allow the eye to evolve from a single photo receptor to a spherical gradient lens. This supports option A as the correct answer. Option B is not exactly accurate, as the time it takes for the eye to evolve can vary depending on the species and environmental factors. Option C is not supported by scientific evidence and Option D is incorrect as 1,800 changes would lead to more than just a photo receptor phase.
