Answer:
The answer is 'D'- Their arm bones have the same structure, but not function. These are homologous structures.
Explanation:
Homologous structures are those which share a basic common structure but perform different function. The hand of a human performs functions like <em>writing, cutting, washing, chopping</em> etc. The wings of a bat are used for the purpose of <em>flying</em>.
Also, <em>a dolphin's flippers, a bird's wing, a cat's leg</em> are all <u>homologous structures</u>. The structures which are homologous have the following features:
- They share a <em>common origin</em>
- Their <em>anatomy</em> is similar
- They have a <em>similar pattern of development</em>.
The correct answer is "<span>they can develop into most types of human cells".
Stem cells are cells that are undifferentiated to what function they may serve, depending on the tissue where it will develop in to. In the context of brain tissue implants, these stem cells can develop into brain cells or nerve cells or neurons which comprises the functional brain tissue; this is clinically significant as neurons are not capable of replacing themselves if damaged.</span>
