What body part of dolphin is homologous to the structures shown above?

The body part of a dolphin that is homologous to the structures shown (assuming they are limbs, like a human arm) would be the dolphin's flippers. Both structures share a common evolutionary ancestor, as they are derived from similar skeletal elements, such as the humerus, radius, and ulna, despite their different functions and forms in aquatic versus terrestrial environments. This illustrates the concept of homology in evolutionary biology, where different species exhibit similarities in structure due to shared ancestry.
