Correctly categorize the characteristics.

Groups:

(a) Homologous Structures

,

(b) Analogous Structures

,

(c) Vestigial Structures

• different in function

• similar in form

• convergent evolution

• similar in function

• wisdom teeth

• divergent evolution

• remanent organs

• pendactyl limb

• different in form

Correctly match the term with its examples or explanation.

• early developmental stages

• Analogous Structures

• different form, similar function

• Homologous Structures

• remanent organs, no major function today

• Molecular Homologies

• similar form, different function

• Vestigial Structures

• DNA & Protein comparison

• Embryology

Select the oldest layer.
