(i) Vertebrate hearts
(ii) Thorns in Bougainvillea and tendrils of Cucurbita.
(iii) Food storage-organs in sweet potato and potato.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Vertebrate hearts and (ii) Thorns in Bougainvillea and tendrils of Cucurbita are the examples of homologous structures Homologous structures are the result of divergent evolution and represent those structures which have same structural plan and developmental origin but differ in function they perform
