Two species might have similar skeletal structures that have different functions. What do these types of structures suggest about the relationship between the two species?

• Common structures with different functions suggest that the species live in the same habitat.

• Common structures with different functions suggest that the species do not share a common ancestor.

• Common structures with different functions suggest that one of the species never learned how to use the structure properly.

• Common structures with different functions suggest that the species share a common ancestor that also had a similar structure.
