Homologous organs are:
1. Wings of cockroach and wings of bats
2. Wings of insects and wings of birds
3. Air bladder of fishes and lungs of frog
4. Pectoral fins of fishes and forelimbs of horse
Which one of the following describes correctly the homologous structures:
1. | Organs with anatomical similarities, but performing different functions |
2. | Organs with anatomical dissimilarities but performing the same function |
3. | Organs that have no function now, but had an important function in ancestors |
4. | Organs appear only in the embryonic stage and disappear later in the adult |
Similarities in organisms with different genotypes indicate:
1. Microevolution
2. Macroevolution
3. Convergent evolution
4. Divergent evolution

4. Inheritance of acquired characters
Which evidence of evolution related to Darwin's finches:

4. analogous organs
Fossils are generally found in
1. sedimentary rocks
2. igneous rocks
3. metamorphic rocks
4. any type of rock
