Which statement is correct about the evidence in this picture?

• similar bones indicate a similar diet

• similar bones indicate a similar habitat

• similar bones indicate a common ancestor

• similar bones indicate evolution happened quick

Structures with the same parts have different functions; suggests that organisms share a common ancestry

• vestigial structures
• homologous structures
• adaptive radiation
• fossil
