The body parts similar in origin and structure you're referring to are "homologous" structures. These structures arise from a common ancestor and have similar anatomical features, despite potentially serving different functions in various species. An example is the forelimbs of mammals, which share a similar bone structure but are adapted for different purposes, such as flying in bats and swimming in whales.

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


What feature is the wing of a bat and the foreleg of an alligator A.anagolous B.homologous C.vestigal D. artificially selected?

vestigal structure because they are used for the same thing just look different.Answervestigal structure because they are used for the same thing just look different.


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.


The same basic array of bones are modified to give rise to the wing of a bat and the fin of a porpoise such anatomical structure are called?

Homologous structures. These are anatomical structures that have a similar origin in a common ancestor but have modified over time to serve different functions in different species. In this case, the forelimb structure of the bat's wing and the flipper of the porpoise are homologous structures.

What is homologous organs and analogous organ?

Homologous organs have similar looking structure and similar origin but different functions . Whereas analogous is just the opposite analogous organs are those that have similar function but different origin and structure


What are The three types of homologies are?

The three types of homologies are anatomical homology (similar structure), developmental homology (similar embryonic origin), and molecular homology (similar genetic sequence). These homologies provide evidence of common ancestry and evolutionary relationships among different species.


What are the difference between homologous organ and analogous organ?

Homologous organs have similar embryonic origin and basic structure whereas Analogous organs have different embryonic origin and basic structure. Homologous organs may look different and may perform different function; e.g., forelimb of a man and flipper of a whale. Whereas Analogous organs look alike and perform same functions; e.g., Wings of birds and insects.

What would come first in alphabetical order original or origin?

Origin. If there's a word that is spelled the same until the other has more letters, then the word with less letters is first.


What mean farther from the origin of a structure is?

Being farther from the origin of a structure usually refers to the distance from its starting point or center. This may affect factors such as stability, support, and functionality depending on the type of structure. Generally, the farther from the origin a structure is, the more complex its design and engineering considerations may become.


What is the relationship between homologous structure and analogous structure?

Homologous structures refer to structures on different species that are similar in function and their evolutionary origin. Analogous structures are similar in function but do not share a similarity in evolutionary origin.
