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?

• Distantly related they are.

• It doesn't prove anything.

• They look alike.

The similarities of bone structure in the diagram provide evidence of what?

• The organisms probably use there forelimbs for the same thing.

• The organisms evolved from a common ancestor.

• The organisms have the same DNA.

Which conclusions are best supported by the embryo diagram?

• Organisms that share a common ancestor develop differently through the three phases of development.

• Organisms appear similar in early development because they share a common ancestor.

• Organisms that are more closely related develop faster than other organisms due to sharing a common ancestor.

• Organisms develop at similar rates because they share a common ancestor.
