The correct answer is metatarsal bones or metatarsus.

A homologous structure refers to an illustration of a bone or an organ, which appears in distinct animals, demonstrating anatomical similarities suggesting descency from a common ancestor. Or it can be said, that when very distinct animals exhibit bones, which seems very identical in function or form and seem to be associated.

The metatarsus or metatarsal bones refer to a combination of five lengthened bones in the foot, situated between the tarsal bones of the mid and hind foot and the phalanges of the toes.

Complete Question:

1. Organisms don’t all reproduce the same way. However, by comparing the ____ of these organisms, many similarities between them are ____

2. of these organisms, many similarities between them are revealed. These similarities suggest that they’re ___ linked. This type of study is called developmental biology.

Group of answer choices.

A) Cells B) Embryos C) Mode of reproduction D) Evolutionarily. E). Revealed.

Answer:

embryo; revealed; evolutionarily.

Explanation:

Reproduction can be defined as a biological process which typically involves living organisms producing an offspring.

Basically, there are two (2) methods of reproduction and these are;

I. Asexual reproduction: it involves the cloning of a living organism to produce an offspring because there is only a single parent.

II. Sexual reproduction: it involves the combination of the genome (gamete) of a male and female living organism during fertilization.

It's a fact that all living organisms do not reproduce the same way.

However, by comparing the embryo of these organisms, many similarities between them are revealed. These similarities suggest that they’re evolutionarily linked.

Hence, we refer to this type of study as developmental biology
