Answer:

Homologous structures

Explanation:

Divergent evolution of related organisms towards different directions to get adapted to their habitats leads to the development of homologous structures. These homologous structures have a common basic structure but are adapted to perform different functions. Bats and human are mammals but bats have wings to fly while forelimbs in human are adapted to hold objects. So, these are homologous structures.

What would be the reason that someone’s eye color would change from blue to green when they were a child?
Butoxors [25]
Your eyes don’t change color, they only reflect the colours around them in particular if they are light coloured eyes. My eyes are blue-grey with a green heterachromia. They are very sensitive to light and dust so they get red easily which makes the eye color appear a brighter blue. If I wear green, the appear more green in color, when I am sunburned they appear more turquoise, etc. But when I wear white or don’t have a shirt on, they look their true blue-grey.
