Darwin’s comments about eyes are often used as evidence against evolution by natural selection, but only because his quotes are taken out of context. Darwin did not think that the possibility that eyes evolved through natural selection was actually "absurd in the highest degree." What was the basis of his logical argument and what evidence do we have to support it?

Explanation:

Darwin proposed the theory of evolution and also the mechanism of how the species evolved that is through natural selection.

He produced so many evidence which supported his hypothesis and one of them was that he tried to study the evolution of the eye and observed that the there are so many varieties of an eye in the different organism which is the result of the natural selection.

But his statement in his book represented in the paragraph showed that looking at the eye of organism he was puzzled and questioned himself about evolution.

the answers are as following:

2. b. g2 phase, preparation for mitosis
