My spidey senses are telling me to tell you to look in your book.
The hard part of the tooth is actually not a living structure. The living structures are the nerves and blood vessels that are inside the tooth.
Charles Darwin visited the Galápagos Islands in 1835 as part of a five-year voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle. During his time there, he made observations of the unique flora and fauna which later influenced his theory of evolution by natural selection.
The Galapagos Islands consists of wildlife that are not found any where else in the entire world. This is very significant to the theory of evolution as we can see that animals and wildlife can adapt to different environments which can completely change their breed when compared to the same species in another part of the world, and due to this they are no longer the same species.

It's a part of evolution that allows ALL the semen to be deposited. This is natural and should NEVER EVER be pulled apart. Injury to both the mother and father can occur.
Homologous means that there is a body part that has the same makeup of a body part of a different organism. Therefore, mosquitos and horseflies have mouth parts that are homologous.

A homology is a likeness in structure between separate organisms due to evolutionary events from the same part or part of a remote ancestor. Whereas analogy is a resemblance and/or comparison of some particulars between things otherwise unlike.
Substances belong to the same homologous series if they have similar chemical structures with a repeating functional group or molecular formula pattern. This commonality results in analogous physical and chemical properties among the substances in the series, making them part of the same homologous series.
Homologous Structures
Analogous structures fit your definition.
Homologous structures are anatomical similarities in different species that suggest a common evolutionary ancestry. Similar structures in organisms that share a common ancestor are expected to be derived from that common ancestor. By studying these homologous structures, scientists can infer evolutionary relatedness and reconstruct the evolutionary history of species.

Dolphin fins and fish tails are not homologous structures; they are examples of convergent evolution. While both serve similar functions in locomotion, dolphin fins are modified forelimbs (homologous to the arms of other mammals), whereas fish tails are derived from the body and are part of the fish's vertebral structure. Thus, their similarities arise from adapting to similar environments rather than from a common evolutionary origin.
A bat's wing is homologous to the human hand. Both structures share a common anatomical origin, as they are derived from the same type of limb bone structure. In bats, the elongated fingers support the wing membrane, while in humans, the fingers are shorter and adapted for grasping. This evolutionary relationship highlights the concept of divergent evolution, where different species develop distinct forms from a common ancestor.
You can say that they provide the same function for the organism, but their origin i different. For example, bats, birds and dragonflies all have wings, but bone placement isn't present in dragonflies as it is in birds and bats. They all let them fly, but they evolved into that form in different ways. It's two structures (or more) that perform the same function but evolved separately.
