Homologous Structures:
Structures that are similar
In different species of common ancestry.
C.
Chicken
Different
functions
Pharyngeal pouches
Analogous Structures:
Features (like wings) of
different species that are similar in how they
function (flight), but the structures of the features
are different (covering: skin, feathers, chitin).
Pharyngeal pouches in embryos can develop into

Age of the Earth: Radiometric dating estimates
the age of the Earth to be about 4.5 billion years old.
Not for dating rocks, but good
