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.
They are both. Bird wings and bat wings are homologous in that they are both vertebrate forelimbs. They are analogous as they evolved separately to serve as wings.
The wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bat can be considered homologous organs. This is because they have the same function.
Yes. Both bird wings and bat wings are vertebrate forelimbs. They are also analogous structures as they independently evolved into wings.
That would depend on what you are comparing it to. It is homologous to other vertebrate forelimbs but not to insect wings.
No they are analogous structures
its because from the wings they can fly
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.
what is Similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor
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.
Homologous structures indicate a common ancestor
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.
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).
Homologous structures have the internal structure, but different functions. For example the human arm, horse foreleg, bird wing, and whale flipper have similar internal skeletal structure, but different external structure because of their different functions. Analogous structures have similar external structure because of similar functions, but dissimilar internal structure. An example of analogous structures would be the wings of an insect and a bird.
Examples of Homologous Structure: Rodent teeth Hooves in species of camels, goats, sheep and cattle Hands and feet in primates Bird feathers Shark morphology
Bird wings are muscle, bone, and feathers. Butterfly wings are bone, skin, and ear. Butterflies have ears at the base of their wings, which was only discovered in the last decade. So they don't have to rely solely on their other senses to tell them where danger is.
No they are not. Homologus structures are structures that originated from a common ancestor, they show similarity in anatomy and development even tho they may have different functions. For example the human arm and bird wing are homologus (pentadactyl limb).Bird and insect wings are ANALOGUS, which means they show similar function but show no similar structural relationship.
well the butterfly is a butterfly and the bird is a bird, it is prett obvious really!
