The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks for the term that describes organs that share a common embryonic origin, have the same fundamental structure, but perform different functions. 2. **Identifying Key Terms:** - **Embryonic Origin:** This refers to organs that develop from the same embryonic tissues. - **Fundamental Structure:** This indicates that the organs have a similar anatomical structure. - **Different Functions:** This means that although the organs are similar in structure, they serve different purposes in different organisms. 3. **Analyzing the Options:** - **Homogeneous Organs:** This term does not exist in biological terminology, so it can be eliminated. - **Homologous Organs:** These are organs that arise from a common ancestor and have similar structures but may perform different functions. This fits the description given in the question. - **Analogous Organs:** These organs perform similar functions but have different structures, which does not match the question's criteria. - **Vestigial Organs:** These are remnants of organs that were functional in ancestors but are now reduced or non-functional, which is not what the question is asking. 4. **Conclusion:** The correct answer is **Homologous Organs** because they meet all the criteria outlined in the question. **Final Answer:** Homologous organs. ---
