This question is on homologous structures.
We need to understand what homologous structures are organs or even skeletal elements which are similar in some animals and thus suggest a common ancestry.
The homologous structures need not look the same but they are mostly similar.
They also need not perform the same function.
The underlying fact is that they are similar.
The reason as to why mountain goats and horses have hooves is because they have a common ancestry.
