Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Structures that have the same evolutionary origin even though they may now have different structures or functions are said to be
A
endemic
B
homologous
C
analogous
D
genetic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The structure that has same evolutionary origins, even though they eventually will have different structural functions or different physical appearances are called homologous structures.

Detailed explanation-2: -Homologous Structures. The structures derived from a common ancestor or from the same evolutionary or developmental origin are referred to as homologous structures. Homologous structures may not necessarily perform the same function. An example of homologous structures is the forelimbs of humans and bats.

Detailed explanation-3: -Homologous structures are similar structures that evolved from a common ancestor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Features of animals that have similar structure are classified as homologous if they have a common evolutionary origin, even if they have different functions in different animals. A classic example of homologous structures is that of the wing of a bat and the arm of a human.

Detailed explanation-5: -Analogous structures have different morphology, which means they are different in structure but have similar function.
