Homologous structures are the remnants of structures long ago that have evolved into other things now. This is why they are evidence of evolutionary relationships.
They show similarities between organisms structure. if the similarities are large then it shows that those organisms share a common ancestor.
== == Homologous provide evidence for evolution because it shows the similarities and how we evolved from the same ancestors
Biochemical analysis uses similarities in DNA, amino acid sequences, as evidence for evolutionary relationships
Scientists want to determine the evolutionary relationships among different species.
DNA sequences .
Homologous structures in different species are evidence of a common evolutionary ancestry. These structures have a similar origin, but may have different functions in different species. Studying homologous structures helps researchers understand how species have diverged and evolved over time.
They show similarities between organisms structure. if the similarities are large then it shows that those organisms share a common ancestor.
Phylogenetic trees represent hypotheses about the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms. A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups.

The evidence do scientist use to determine evolutionary relationships by scientist have combined the evidence from DNA, protein structure, fossils, early development, and body structure to determine the evolutionary relationship amoung species.

It shows the organism has same structures as its relatives.
Part 1: Evidence from the Fossil Record Part 2: Evidence from Geographic Distribution of Living Species Part 3: Evidence from Homologous Structures and Vestigial Organs Part 4: Evidence from Embryology
They don't. Homologous structures provide evidence for evolution not analogous structures.
Homologous structures - the forelimb structures are anatomically similar and were derived from a common ancestor; however, they have evolved completely different uses. This provides evidence for divergent evolution or adaptive radiation.
