Parts of the body that are similar to other species because they have a common ancestor

• fossil record

• homologous structures

• embryology

Various species show similar developmental patterns as embryos.

• DNA similarities

• Anatomical Homology

• Embryology

• All of the above

NGSS.HS-LS4-1

The forelimbs of mammals have similar anatomy because these groups descended from a recent common ancestor. Their bone structure is an example of a(n) (a)   structure.

• vestigial

• analogous

• homologous

Some organisms that share a common ancestor have features that have different functions, but similar structures.  These are known as

• vestigial structures

• analogous structures

• homologous structures

• fossil structures

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

What is this an example of?

• vestigial structures

• embryology

• homologous structures

• fossil record

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

Same structure-different function

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

Similarities between organisms when they are Embryos (due to common ancestry and evolution)

• Vestigial Structure

• Evolution

• Developmental Homology

• Structural Homology

Tags

NGSS.MS-LS4-3

The reason that organisms are similar when they are embryos is because they have a common ancestor who looked like the Row 1 embryos.
