To explain how homologous organs, analogous organs, and fossils provide evidence in favor of evolution, we can break down each concept step by step: ### Step 1: Homologous Organs - **Definition**: Homologous organs are those that have the same basic structure but perform different functions. - **Example**: The forelimb of a human and the forelimb of a horse. - **Analysis**: Both limbs have similar bone structures (humerus, radius, ulna, etc.) but serve different purposes. The human arm is adapted for manipulation and grasping, while the horse's forelimb is adapted for running. - **Conclusion**: This similarity in structure despite different functions suggests a common ancestor, providing evidence for evolution. ...
