Statement 2 supports statement 1

Homologous organs indicate that evolution resulted in similar organs taking up different functions with time and need. The arm of a human, the wing of a bird or a bat, the leg of a dog and the flipper of a dolphin or whale are homologous structures.

The structural features that are evolved to do the same function. in various species, but have different ancestral origins are called analogous structures
