5 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparative anatomy is the study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species. Similar body parts may be homologies or analogies. Both provide evidence for evolution. ... The structures are similar because they evolved to do the same job, not because they were inherited from a common ancestor.
