Please help with the following prompt using as much details as possible. "One argument that is often made to invalidate evolution by natural selection is that some features of an organism are so complicated and need to work together in order to precisely function that it is impossible for such structures to arise from simpler ones by the random processes of mutation and selection: complicated design requires a designer. Using evidence from real organisms, explain how a complicated structure can arise from a simpler ancestral feature. You can use either an anatomical feature or molecular one."

Step 1

Introduction 

Life starts on earth around 3.4 billion years ago, in the ocean. The primitive organism was a single cell. Later on, during the evolution and diversification, this single-cell led to a generation of multicellular organisms which later developed into complex animals.

Evolution is the key process that regulates the survivability and continuity of species on the planet Earth. Evolution can be defined as the change in the characters of a species in the population that is heritable to the next generation.
