Humans would share more homologous structures with a horse than with a
frog.
Humans share a more recent common ancestor with the gorilla as
compared to the pig.
Humans will have the same number of homologous structures with the pig
and the chicken.
Humans will have more vestigial structures than the chicken because they
diverged much later.
The chicken and the lizard have the closest evolutionary relationship to
each other than all of the other species represented in the table.
