Within the animal kingdom, one can find homologous bone structures that suggest a shared lineage.
Although they live in different environments, terrestrial and aquatic animals often exhibit homologous anatomical features.
During metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and align at the metaphase plate.
The spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of each homologous chromosome pair during metaphase I.
Over time, homologous structures in animals can evolve to meet different needs based on their habitats.
