Example would be the dark colored pocket mouse. , Ancestral Trait , an evolutionary trait that is homologous within groups of organisms that are all descended from a common ancestor in which the trait first evolved. Shared by a large group., Homologous Structure , Similarity of the structure, physiology, or development of different species of organisms based upon their descent from a common ancestor , Vestigial Structure, Structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor. Examples include human appendix, tail bone, wisdom teeth, Analogous Structure , features of different species that are similar in function but not necessarily in structure and which do not derive from a common ancestral feature.
