Imagine two species with identical looking wings. How could you determine if these wings are homologous or analogous?
By analyzing their functions in different environments
By comparing their genetic sequences
By examining their anatomical structures
By studying their evolutionary history and common ancestors
To determine if the wings are homologous or analogous, comparing the genetic sequences of the two species can provide insights into their evolutionary relationships. Homologous organs are expected to have similar genetic sequences due to common ancestry.
Option 2 is the correct answer.
