What type of cell organelle is similar in structure to a radiator?
the coils of radiator provide a large surface area from which heat is radiated in to a room which a cell organelles have a structure similar to that of radiator? how is their structure related to their function
If you compare organisms with similar characteristics what indicates recent their common ancestor probably is?
The more similar the two groups are, the most recent the common ancestor probably is.
What does similar structures in embryos mean?
the species come from a common ancestor
Why is DNA of cats and dogs more similar than DNA of cats and hamsters?
Cats and dogs have a common ancestor that is more recent than the common ancestor of cats and hamsters.
What does a branch point in a cladogram represent?
The branch point in a cladogram represents a specific ancestor that is separated into two or more species. For example a leopard and a house cat share a common ancestor. A similar example is that a wolf shares a common ancestor with the leopard's and house cat's ancestor but the wolf's ancestor lived longer than the leopard's and house cat's ancestor. Scientists use something called cladistics to determine the one common ancestor that multiple species have in common.

Why are ants in the bee order?
Because they are evolutionarily related - they both had a common ancestor. They have similar body shapes and similar social behaviours.
The structure of the forelimb of a bird is similar in structure to that of the forelimb of a mammal suggesting that both descended from a common ancestor What is this similarity an example of?
Homologous structures - the forelimb structures are anatomically similar and were derived from a common ancestor; however, they have evolved completely different uses. This provides evidence for divergent evolution or adaptive radiation.
The structure of the forearm of a bird is similar to that of the forearm of a mammal sugguesting that both desened from a common ancestor this similarity is an example of?
Homology.
Similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor are called structures?
Homologous structures.
When two structures of two species are very similar what can scientists infer about both species?
evolved from a common ancestor that also had the structure bg
