The correct option is:
c) Homology refers to similarity due to common ancestry, while analogy refers to similarity due to the environment.
Explanation:
- Homology refers to similarity in structures or traits that are derived from a common ancestor. These similarities are due to shared ancestry and are used to reconstruct evolutionary relationships.
- Analogy, on the other hand, refers to similarity in structures or traits that are not derived from a common ancestor but are instead due to similar environmental pressures leading to convergent evolution. Analogous structures may serve similar functions but have different evolutionary origins.
So, option (c) accurately describes the difference between homology and analogy.
