what are homologous structures?
Cevap: Homologous structures are structures in different species that have similar anatomy, indicating that the organisms share a common ancestor. These structures often have similar bone structure and arrangement, but may have evolved to serve different functions in different species.
For example, the forelimbs of humans, bats, whales, and birds are all homologous structures because they share a similar bone structure and arrangement, despite serving very different purposes in each of these species. Homologous structures provide evidence for evolution and the relatedness of different species.
