Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu.
the tentacles of an octopus and the limbs of a lizard perform the same function but have a different evolutionary lineage. therefore, they are drop - down menu
the front legs of a cat and the arms of a human share a bone structure that suggests a common evolutionary lineage. therefore, these anatomical structures are drop - down menu with options: analogous, homologous, vestigial

Explanation:

1. For the first statement: Structures with the same function but different evolutionary origins are defined as analogous structures.
2. For the second statement: Structures with similar bone structure (anatomical similarity) indicating a common evolutionary lineage are defined as homologous structures.

Answer:

1. The tendrils of an octopus and the limbs of a lizard perform the same function but have a different evolutionary lineage. Therefore, they are analogous
2. The front legs of a cat and the arms of a human share a bone structure that suggests a common evolutionary lineage. Therefore, these skeletal structures are homologous
