Birds and bees have wings are their wings homologous features or analogous features?

The wings of birds and bees are an example of analogous features, as they have evolved independently in each group and do not share a common ancestry that possessed wings. Homologous features are those that are inherited from a common ancestor and are usually more similar in structure.


Are the wings of birds and the wings of bats homologous or analogous structures?

They are both. They are homologous because they are both examples of a vertebrate forelimb. They are analogous because they were adapted for flight independently of one another.


What are homologous structures between birds and bats?

Birds and bats are homoplasious because they are similar, but not derived from a common ancestor. An example of homologous structures is a man's arm and a cow's foreleg. They are anatomically similar but have different functions.


Which type of anatomic structure are birds wings and human arms when compared to each other?

Homologous


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.


Are butterfly wings and bird wings examples of analogous structures?

Yes. Though they both enable the organism to fly, they are different on the inside. Bird wings have tiny bones in them, while butterfly wings are kept rigid by fluid pressure. Therefore, they have a similar function but different structures and are analogous.


An example of a homologous structure?

Examples of Homologous Structure: Rodent teeth Hooves in species of camels, goats, sheep and cattle Hands and feet in primates Bird feathers Shark morphology


Are penguin flippers and bat wings homologous or analogous?

Yes they are. I disagree. Even if they ultimately come from a common ancestor, in order to classify two characteristics as homologous, they have to have some similarities. After millions of years of being in the oceans, the fins of whales have evolved such that they are not at all similar to cats' legs.


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 is a sentence using the word homologous?

The homologous is the study of animals.


Are the mouthparts of the two species homologous or analogous?

That depends on what two species you're referring to. Homologous parts are similar in structure and evolutionary origin, though not necessarily in function. for example: human arms and bat's wings Analogous parts, on the other hand function similarly, but may not be similar in structure or evolutionary origin. example: a butterfly's wings and birds' wings


Do takahe have wings?

Yes. Takahe are birds, and all birds have wings. Even flightless birds have wings, though they are of little or no use.
