| 1. | homologous organs that have evolved due to divergent evolution |
| 2. | analogous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution |
| 3. | analogous organs that have evolved due to divergent evolution |
| 4. | homologous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution |
Which one of the following correctly describes the homologous structures?
| 1. | Organs with anatomical similarities, but performing different functions. |
| 2. | Organs with anatomical dissimilarities, but performing same functions. |
| 3. | Organs that have no functions now, but had an important function in ancestors. |
| 4. | Organs appearing only in embryonic stage and disappearing later in the adult. |

| 1. | protected from carcinogens |
| 2. | protected from lichen poisons |
| 3. | more robust |
| 4. | protected from predation |
| 1. | Organs in different species that have different structures but perform similar functions due to convergent evolution. |
| 2. | Vestigial organs that have lost their original function due to evolutionary changes. |
| 3. | Organs in different species that have a similar structure and evolutionary origin but may perform different functions. |
| 4. | Organs that are identical in both structure and function across all species, indicating no evolutionary changes. |
