Which of the following pairs is least likely to represent homologous structures? select one: a. the wing of a bat and the arm of a humanb. mitochondria of a fish cell and mitochondria of an ant cellc. the legs of a bird and the legs of an insectd. hemoglobin of a baboon and hemoglobin of a gorilla

The correct answer is c. The legs of a bird and the legs of an insect

Explanation:

The structures that are driven from a common ancestor are called homologous structures. They can look different superficially but they are related developmentally. Homologous structures are formed by divergent evolution for example forelimbs of bat and humans are homologous structures.

So it does not mean that homologous structures of two different animals perform the same function. So here the pair which is least likely to share the homologous structure is the legs of a bird and the legs of an insect because it is not derived from same common ancestor and does not show homology.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
