The structures you are referring to are known as **homologous structures**, which arise from the same embryonic tissue but may develop into different mature forms in different organisms.
However, from the options you provided:
a. **Analogous structures** – These are structures that serve similar functions in different organisms but do not share a common embryonic origin.
b. **Vestigial structures** – These are remnants of organs or structures that had a function in an early ancestor but are reduced or nonfunctional in the current organism.
Neither of these options correctly describes what you are seeking. The correct term for structures that develop from the same embryonic tissue but have different forms in different organisms is **homologous structures**. If you need more information about homologous structures or clarification on the other types of structures, feel free to ask!
