Solution

Each point: 1 Mark

1. Evolution cannot always be equated with progress or better body designs. Evolution simply creates more complex body designs.
2. However, this does not mean that the simple body designs are inefficient.In fact, bacteria having a simple body design are still the most cosmopolitan organisms found on earth.
3. They can survive hot springs, deep sea, and even freezing environment. Therefore, bacteria, spiders, fish, and chimpanzees are all different branches of evolution.
