According to the theory of evolution, anatomical and molecular homologies should ____________________. Group of answer choicesyield very different hierarchical patternslink all of the species currently present on Earthproduce similar patterns of evolutionary relatednessbe completely independent of each other

Homologous structures are anatomical features that are similar in different species because they were inherited from a common ancestor. For example, the forelimbs of humans, whales, and bats.
