comparative anatomy.
Comparative anatomy involves the study of the similarities
and differences in the anatomical structures of different

Types of Homology
Molecular homologies are similarities between species on
the molecular level. Identifying molecular homologies
involves looking at the DNA of different species and
comparing them to each other.
If the same DNA sequences are found in different species,
that means they probably came from a common ancestor.
Types of Homology
Developmental homology refers to a comparison between
the embryos of different species.
