The front limbs of a human, cat, whale and bat all have the same number of bones. Why do all of these animals have different functions for their front limbs, even though the structure is the same?

• different functions because they don't share a common ancestor

• different functions because they do share a common ancestor

• different functions because they are adapted to similar environments

• different functions because they are adapted to different environments.
