Which of the following describes homologous organs?
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.
