Question
structures that are homologous indicate that organisms have a common ancestor. false true rewatch submit
Homologous structures are anatomical features in different organisms that have a similar underlying structure due to shared ancestry. For example, the forelimbs of humans, bats, and whales have the same basic bone structure (humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges) but are used for different functions (grasping, flying, swimming). This similarity in structure (not necessarily function) indicates that these organisms evolved from a common ancestor.
