To identify the examples of homologous structures from the given options, we need to understand the definition of homologous structures. Homologous structures are those that have a similar anatomical structure but may serve different functions in different organisms. Let's analyze each option step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze Vertebrate Hearts - **Description**: All vertebrates (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish) have hearts with a similar structure, typically consisting of chambers (atria and ventricles). - **Function**: While the basic structure is similar, the function of the heart can vary among different vertebrates (e.g., fish have a two-chambered heart, while mammals have a four-chambered heart). - **Conclusion**: Vertebrate hearts are homologous structures. ...
