Question

Homology of organs in two animals suggests that both animals ______.

Options

• belong to the same geological time scale

• are adapted for same habitat at a particular time of evolution

• have evolved from a common ancestor

• are a result of convergent evolution

Answer 1

Homology of organs in two animals suggests that both animals have evolved from a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Homologous structures share an underlying structural plan because they were inherited from a common ancestor. Similar habitats more often explain analogous features and convergent evolution, not homology.
