Examine the image below. Notice how all organisms in the image share several of the same bones (highlighted in orange and yellow). Are these homologous structures (homologies) or analogous structures(analogies)? Explain how these structures provide evidence for evolution and the relationship among organisms. Grading Considerations Your answer must include: Whether these structures are%C2%A0homologous%C2%A0or%C2%A0analogous An explanation of how these structures provide evidence for evolution Your answer should be 2-4 sentences in length. In an effort to combat plagiarism, answers longer than 5 sentences will not be considered.%C2%A0Answering concisely and to the point is evidence of your understanding of the topic. (2 points)
These structures are homologous. They provide evidence for evolution because they indicate a common ancestor among the organisms in the image. The presence of similar bones with slightly different functions suggests a shared evolutionary history and demonstrates the relationship among these organisms.
