select the correct answer from each drop - down menu.
the tentacles of an octopus and the limbs of a lizard perform the same function but have a different evolutionary lineage. therefore, they are

the arms of a cat and the arms of a human share a bone structure that suggests a common evolutionary lineage. therefore, these skeletal

Explanation:

• Analogous structures are structures that have similar functions but different evolutionary origins. The tentacles of an octopus and the limbs of a lizard perform the same function (e.g., movement, manipulation of the environment) but have different evolutionary lineages.
• Homologous structures are structures that have a similar underlying structure (due to common evolutionary lineage) but may have different functions. A cat's arm and a human's arm have a similar bone structure (humerus, radius, ulna, etc.) suggesting a common evolutionary lineage.

Answer:

First drop - down menu: analogous; Second drop - down menu: homologous
