Question
a bats wing is used for flight while a monkey uses its hand to grasp objects. these structures have different functions, but on an anatomical level, they have a very similar bone structure. darwin used this evidence to suggest that bats and monkeys share which commonality?
o common parents
o common fossils
o common mutations
o common ancestors
Darwin used anatomical similarities (similar bone structure) to suggest evolutionary relationships. Homologous structures (same origin, different functions) imply a common ancestor. Common ancestors explain shared anatomical features despite different functions. Mutations are random genetic changes. Fossils are preserved remains. Common parents is an incorrect term (should be common ancestor).
