14. Cats have bones in their front legs that are similar to humans and also similar to the bones in the front flipper of a turtle. What do scientists hypothesize that

this means?
a These are homologous structures - they have similar structure despite their different functions and provide evidence that they evolved from a common ancestor.
b These are homologous structures - because of their different functions they do not provide evidence of a common ancestor and the limbs did not evolve from a single
common ancestor.
c These are analogous structures - they have similar structure despite their different functions and provide evidence that they evolved from a common ancestor.
d These are analogous structures - because of their different functions they do not provide evidence of a common ancestor and the limbs did not evolve from a single
common ancestor.

Answer:

I believe that the answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because these organisms don't seem to evolve from a common ancestor but do seem to look similar.
