Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Describe how different organisms having a common gene such as COII supports the theory of evolution. Different organisms would not have the same gene by chance. If two organisms share a gene, it is likely that they shared a common ancestor who passed the gene on to each species.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inherited Variation – There is genetic variation within a population which can be inherited. Competition – There is a struggle for survival (species tend to produce more offspring than the environment can support)
