Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor. The structures are similar because they evolved to do the same job, not because they were inherited from a common ancestor.the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as the result of descent with modification from a common ancestor.
