Answers
Radish, carrot and sweet potato have a typical starting point, that is they have normal ancestory. The structures which are comparative in root yet perform distinctive capacities are homologous structures or organs. These all are roots yet they likewise perform same capacity of capacity of nourishment. In the event that we ponder them separated from their regular structure, normal ancestory or basic starting point, at sub-atomic dimension the term homology portrays the DNA or proteins that share a typical transformative root. Despite the fact that they play out similar capacities however in every single other part of homology, it is right to call them homologous when all is said in done terms yet at atomic dimension these are Orthologous structures.
