Question

Which of the following statements is/are true?

A. Analogous structures are sometimes due to common ancestry
B. Some homologous structures have similar morphology (shape, appearance)
C. Some homologous have the same function
D. Homologous structures in descendants could be found in a common ancestor
E. Homologous structures might look and function similarly. This is probably due to a common ancestor with a similar trait

Answer 1

Answer: Option B,C,D and E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homologous structures are structures that are similar and found in organisms that are interconnected by a common ancestor. Homologous structures may or may not perform the same function in descendants. But some homologous structures perform similar function.

Analogous structure are structures that are similar and perform similar function in organisms from different ancestors.
