Bird wings and insect wings are considered to be
Vestigial structures.
Homogenous structures.
Analogous structures.
Homologous structures.
30sS10LT-IIIf-39 - Q3
The wing of the bat and the forelimb of the dog are said to be homologous structures. This indicates that
Bats evolved from a lineage of dogs
The limb bones of each are anatomically identical
They are structures that are similar due to common ancestry
They have the same function
30sS10LT-IIIf-39 - Q4
Some organisms that share a common ancestor have features that have different functions, but similar structures. These are known as
Vestigial structures
Fossil structures
Homologous structures
Analogous structures

Scientists think that dolphins and whales may have evolved from a common ancestor. What evidence supports this hypothesis?
They eat the same food.
They live in the same area of the ocean.
They swim the same way.
They have similar anatomies.

If a scientist were to find 4 fossils that appear to be of the same ancestor, what can be concluded?

Members of the group living today live together.
Fossils have similar characteristics.
Fossils were found in the same rock layer.
30sS10LT-IIIf-39 - Q7
