homologized

Example:The development of wings in birds and insects is an example of analogous organs, even if their origins are different.

Definition:having a similar or corresponding status or function

Example:The development of webbed feet in frogs and penguins is a parallel evolutionary process since the animals live in similar environments but are not closely related.

Definition:existing at the same time but having different origins; corresponding in position or purpose

Example:Through careful analysis, scientists can similarize the genetic sequences to uncover evolutionary relationships.

Definition:to make similar; bring to a common standard or condition
