Answer:

(a) bat wing and human hand

Explanation:

The homologous structures are structures at living organisms that are the same, very similar, or have the same function, despite the organisms having different appearance. This can mostly be seen in the bones of the animals, and this type of structures more often then not suggest a distant common ancestor between the species. Usually the homologous structures appear among animals from the same class, so it can be expected that animals from the mammalia class can have these structures, or animals from the reptilia etc. In this case we have the bat wing and the human hand. Both have similar bone structure, and the function of the bones in the bat wing and the human hand is also similar. Both of them are in the class of mammalia, and they do share a very distant common ancestor in the small shrew-like mammals during the reign of the dinosaurs.

How might a single base substitution in the sequence of a gene affect the amino acid sequence of a protein encoded by the gene,
vovangra [49]
The effect differs. It could produce a different amino acid in the sequence because the corresponding codon has changed. It could also prevent the production of the originally intended sequence by changing one of the amino acids of a "start" codon (aka AUG) or extend the protein's sequence by modifying a "stop" codon (UAA, UAG, UGA or UGG), producing a new protein that might be useless or have different effects on the cell.
