Question

Answer 1

Answer:

B) analogous structures: parts that have similar function, but differ in structure (wings of an airplane vs wings of a bird)

C) vestigial structures: anatomical features that no longer have a function in the current form of the organism (wisdom teeth)

D) embryology: the study of the formation, growth, and development of the embryo (from gamete to fertilization to zygote to embryo)
