Both homologous and analogous forms of these result from evolution?
Structures
What are analogous structures?
Analogous structures are features of two different species that are similar in how the function, but the structure of the two features is different. The wings of an insect and the wings of a bird are analogous structures.
What are analogous characteristics?
analogous character similarities that are the same, but found in different species, thought to have arisen from convergent evolution
What do the structures that result from convergent evolution indicate about organisms?
The structure that result from convergent evolution indicates that organisms have to be reclassified because when scientists compared nucleic acid from the cells of the animals and they found many diffrences in them.
What evolution has produced many of the analogous structures in organisms today?
They don't. Homologous structures provide evidence for evolution not analogous structures.
Compare homologous and analogous structures?
Homologous structures are similar in structure but different in function, indicating shared ancestry (such as the bones in the limbs of humans and bats). Analogous structures have similar functions but different origins, suggesting convergent evolution (like the wings of birds and insects).
What are similar structures that evolved independently called?
Similar structures that have evolved independently are called homologous structures. An example would be the wings of a bird and the wings of an insect.
How are homologous structures different from analogous structures?
Yes, homologous structures have common bone and muscle structures suggesting that they came from an common ancestor while analogous structures do not share any similarity in features, suggesting that they derived from two separate origins.
What are similar structures that evolve independently?
Similar structures that evolved independently are called analogous structures, or analogies.
Is the concept of convergence related to the notion of analogous structures?
no
Rhizoids in molds are analogous to which structures on plants?
Roots
How are analogous and homologous structures different?
They are different because homologous structures have the same structure, but serve a different function. Like mammal arms(human, bat and whales). Analogous structues are different structures, but serve the same function. For example, bat wings and butterfly wings.
