Which law states complex structures once lost are not regained?

Dollo’s law reflects key principle in quiz on molecular evolution, where evolutionary mechanisms shape genetic variation and adaptation. In this context, Dollo’s law aligns with experimental and theoretical evidence from population genetics, behavioral ecology and molecular phylogeny. Textbooks like Campbell Biology, Futuyma Evolution and Hartl Principles illustrate supporting data. Understanding why Dollo’s law fits helps integrate natural selection, environment.
