Homologous
Homologous structures are features that originated in a shared ancestor, such as the bones in the limbs of vertebrates. These features may have different functions in modern organisms but have similar underlying structures due to their common ancestry.
Homologous structures are similar structures that related species inherit from a common ancestor. These structures may have different functions in different species but share a similar underlying anatomy, suggesting shared evolutionary origins. Examples include the wing of a bird and the flipper of a whale, both being modified versions of the forelimb structure shared by their common ancestor.
