Homologous structures.
What Similar structures that related species inherited from a common ancestor are?
Homologous structures.
What do scientist call such similar structures?
They call it "similarity" you should know that.
How would you use homologous structure in a sentence?

What is a term that describes body parts of different organisms that are similar in form?
Homologous structures (Not to be confused with Homologous pairs)
What does a vestigial structure mean?
Vestigiality describes homologous characters of organisms which have lost all or most of their original function in a species through evolution. These may take various forms such as anatomical structures, behaviors and biochemical pathways
What term refers to similar structures that relate to species have inherited from common ancestors?
homologous structures (correct answer, your response)
Similarity of structure of the forelimb of a bird and a mammal is an example of what evidence?
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.
