Answer:

The correct answer is d) genomic imprinting.

Explanation:

Genomic imprinting is a biological process by which specific modifications in the germ line that produce differences in the expression of the genetic material that is biochemically marked indicating its parental origin. The Prader-Willi syndrome is one of the best known and most studied examples in relation to pathologies produced by genomic imprinting.

Your answers are:

1. Analogous

2. Homologous

If you'd like to know why:

Your clue for the first one is "same function," and "Have different evolutionary lineage." Analogous structures are structures that are similar when comparing animals that are completely unrelated. They are similar in structure because they have similar function.

On the other hand, the second one, homologous structures, they are structures that are similar, when comparing animals that are related, down the line of ancestry.

Vestigial structures, the one not selected, are structures that are found in different animals but differ in size due to evolution, because they are no longer used by certain organisms.
