1)A. analogous B. homologous C. vestigial
2)A. analogous B. homologous C. vestigial

Answer 1

i believe the correct answers are:

1) B. homologous

2) A. analogous

Answer 2

Answer:

1)  B. homologous

2) A. analogous

Explanation:

The arms of humans and the flippers of dolphins are homologous organs as both are made of the same pentadactyle pattern of bone structure, but their function is different. Arms of humans perform the function of holding things and the flippers of dolphins are used for swimming. The legs of a kangaroo and the legs of a jumping spider are analogous organs because both organs are dissimilar in origin but perform the same function. They use for jumping.
