Title: Homologous Structure Question
Post by: artfuldodger23007 on Apr 26, 2011
Homologous structures are often cited as evidence for process of natural selection.  All of the following are examples of homologous structures except:

a) wings of bird and wings of bat
b) flippers of whale and arms of man (I selected this I am not sure if its right)
c) pectoral fins of porpoise and flippers of seal
d) forelegs of insect and forelimbs of dog
e) hind legs of a lizard and legs of a chicken

Any help is greatly appreciated
