Questions and Answers

What is comparative anatomy?

  • The study of how marsupials evolved in different continents
  • The study of the similarities in structure among different species (correct)
  • The study of the development of embryos in different species
  • The study of the geographical distribution of organisms

    • What does the presence of a tail in vertebrate embryos during early development suggest?

  • The convergent evolution of vertebrate tail structures
  • The independent evolution of vertebrate embryos
  • The common ancestry of all vertebrates (correct)
  • The absence of a tail in fully developed vertebrates

    • What is a homologous structure?

  • Structures with similar functions but different origins
  • Structures with similar origins but different functions (correct)
  • Similar structures with different functions and origins
  • Structures with identical functions and origins
