that we share a common ancestor
Homologous structures indicate a common ancestor
Homologous structures.
Homologous structures.
Homologous structures among animals are similar body parts that suggest a common ancestry. These structures provide evidence for evolution because they indicate that different species share a common evolutionary history and have evolved from a common ancestor.
I learned about homologous and heterozygous structures in Biology.
homologous structures (correct answer, your response)
homologous structures- same structure/different functions in common ancestors analogous structures-same functions/differnt structures not in common ancestors vestigial-show evolutionary history/structures that arent used anymore (i.e. human appendix/human tailbone)
Homologous structures are similar body parts in different species that suggest a common evolutionary ancestor. These structures provide evidence of species changing over time because they indicate that different species have evolved from a shared ancestor and adapted to different environments. By studying homologous structures, scientists can trace the evolutionary history of species and understand how they have changed over time.

homologous structures
Homologous structures are anatomical structures that share a common evolutionary origin, but may have different functions in different species. These structures develop from the same embryonic tissue and demonstrate evolutionary relationships between species. An example is the forelimbs of vertebrates, which have different functions such as wings in birds, flippers in whales, and arms in humans.
In biology, the prefix "homo-" means "same" or "similar." It is often used to indicate similarity or sameness among organisms or structures, such as in the term "homologous structures" to describe similar structures in different species.
