Chapter 14, Problem 10MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There are several organisms present in nature. The group of organisms that differ from each other is called species. The process of formation of new species, called descendants, from the ancestral species is termed as evolution. It takes millions of years for the evolution of descendants to take place from the primitive organisms.
