Is the human forelimb a homologous structure?
yes its homologous to a bats wing
Which would be a homologous structure to a human?
A bird's wing bone
Is a bat wing and a mouse arm a homologous structure?
Yes
Are the legs of a cat and fins of a whale homologous or anologous?
Homologous. Almost bone for bone. They are both tetrapods and mammals. The wing of a bird and the wing of a bat are analogous. They are tetrapods, but one is a bird and one is a mammal.
Which would be homologous structure to a human arm bone?
A bird's wing bone
Is a wing of a bird homologous to the wing of a cat?
In biology, homologous structures are defined as structures which serve the same purposes because they evolved from the same source (divergent evolution), the opposite of analogous structures, which serve the same purpose but evolved through convergent evolution. Birds' wings and bats' wings are both homologous and analogous. As wings, the two are analogous, but as forelimbs, the two are homologous.
What would be homologous to a human arm bone?
The wing of a bat. The leg of a horse...
Which set of structures are homologous?
A hydrocarbon that possesses one double bond belongs to the next homologous series called alkenes.
Are arms wings and flippers homologous structures?
Among, say, mammals they are homologous, but the wing of an insect and a bat are analogous.
Are bird wings and butterfly wings homologous structures?
There are a few different similarities between the wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bat. Both are used to fly for example.
What explains why a bone in a birds wing is homologous to a bone in a lizards front leg?
They both have a common ansestor.
How can a bats wing be considered a homologous structure and an analogous?
They are homologous in the sense that all tetrapods share that forelimb structure. They are analogous because both bats and birds adapted flight to their local environmental conditions. One being a mammal, that has the finger extension type wing and one being aves with the full forelimb extending the wing. They have the flight in common, but not the structures, so are analogous. They have an ancestral condition leading to the similarity of forelimb structure and so are homologous.
