Evolution
30s - Q2
Body parts in different species that have similar structures and origins but may serve different functions, indicating a common ancestor.
Homologous Structures

Body parts in different species that have similar functions but do not share a common structure or origin, showing how different species can adapt to similar environments.
Analogous Structures
30s - Q4
