Question number TEN.

The bones of our arm and the bones of the wing of a bat are similar.

True

False

You are correct.

It is true. The bones of our arm and the bones of the wing of a bat are similar. This is because humans and bats share a common mammal ancestor and thus a common mammal body plan.
