These structures have different functions, but have similar internal structure.

• Homologous structures

• Analogous structures

• Vestigial structures

The structures have similar functions, but different internal structure.

• Analogous structures

• Homologous structures

• Vestigial structures

These structures no longer serve a purpose.

• Vestigial structures

• Homologous structures

• Analogous structures

Answer explanation

These structures once served a purpose (for the organism's ancestor).
