A bat wing and a butterfly wing are both used for flying but they are made differently. What type of structure is this?

• Homologous structure

• Analogous structure

• Vestigial structure

• Fossil structure

A human arm and a whale fin have similar bone structure but the whale fin is used for swimming and the arm is used for reaching and grabbing. What type of structures are these?

• Homologous structures

• Analogous structures

• Vestigial structures

• Fossil structures

When comparing the DNA of two different organisms, the more differences in the DNA base pairs the more-

• Closely related they are.

• Distantly related they are.

• It doesn't prove anything.

• They look alike.
