Question

If you are asked to select a group of two vegetables, out of the following having homologous structures which one would you select?

Answer 1

Hint: Homologous structures carry out varying functions that have the same roots. These systems promote the theory that the various species are inherited from a single ancestor and act as confirmation of evolution.

Complete answer:
First we should know about homologous structure to answer this question. Homologous structures are organs or structural components of animals and species that indicate their relation to a shared ancestor by means of their resemblance. These systems do not need to look precisely the same or serve the same intent. The most notable element, as their name implies, is that they are structurally identical. Due to common ancestry among a pair of structures or genes in separate taxa, homology is identical.

The Examples of homologous structures include the radish as well as the carrot. The homologous structures are the portions of the plants that are initially identical and can serve various functions. Carrot as well as radish both are conical root structures possessing distinct nutrients that have the same storage function.

Note: Defensive or storage mechanisms are rendered in many plants by changes to the growth of primary leaves, stems and roots. Leaves are adapted from photosynthetic materials to create pitcher plants' insect-trapping pitchers, Venus flytrap insect-trapping jaws, or cactus spines, all homologous.
