1 pts
Homologous structures are anatomical features in different organisms that share a common evolutionary origin (same bones in related vertebrates here), even if their functions differ. Vestigial organs are remnants with reduced/ no function. Analogous structures have similar functions but different evolutionary origins. Heterologous is not a standard term in this biological context.
