Question

The forelimbs of bats and humans have a very similar bone structure even though they appear very different on the outside

These structures are known as
because they result from species evolving
Which of the following answer choices correctly completes the above statement?
(1 point)
O analogies, from the same common ancestor
o analogies, similar adaptations in similar environments
o homologies, from the same common ancestor
o homologies, similar adaptations in similar environments

Answer 1

The forelimbs of all mammals are homologous traits, meaning that they originate from a common ancestral trait.

The correct answer is therefore C. Homologies (homologous traits), from the same common ancestor.

(To clarify, we know it is from a common ancestor because both bats and humans are mammals)
