Solution

Homologous structures are similar in origin.

Explanation:

Homologous structures are organs that may differ in function but have a similar embryonic origin and structural plan, indicating common ancestry. For example, the forelimbs of humans, wings of birds, and flippers of whales have different functions but share the same basic bone structure inherited from a common ancestor.
