Question
the image shows part of the humerus bone in different genera of primates. images of different humerus bones which statement is best supported by the observable structures of the different humerus bones? a the primates lived in similar environments. b the primates shared a common ancestor. c the primates interbreed with similar organisms in a population. d the primates had diets that consisted of similar types of foods.
The image shows the humerus bones of different primates. Homologous structures (similar bone structures in different species) suggest a common ancestor. There is no evidence from the bone structure alone about the environment (A), interbreeding (C) (as different genera likely can't interbreed), or diet (D). The similar bone structure (homology) points to a shared common ancestor.
