XVI. Answer the following question : 1×5=5

38. a) Human hands and wings of the bird help to trace the
evolutionary relationships. How ? Explain the methods
of dating of fossils.

b) Changes in the non-reproductive tissues will not

inherit. Why ?

Ans. :

a) Hands of man and wings of bird perform different

functions but have same structure. 1

So we can understand that these organisms have

common ancestors and modified according to the need
in the course of evolution. 1

Dating of fossils :

Relative method : The fossils we find closer to the

surface are more recent than in deeper layers when the
earth is dug. 1

Isotope method : By detecting the ratios of different

isotopes of an element present in fossils. 1

b) Change in non-reproductive tissues cannot be passed

on to the DNA of germ cells. 1 5
