What organism is the whale closely related?
Whales are actually very close to birds. You see, birds and whales both have structures called homologous structures (H). H-structures are mainly bone structures in an animal that are very similar to other creatures. If you look at the bones and their structure in the whales fins and flippers you will see that they are nearly identical to that of a birds wing.
How are structure and function similar to each other?
Cells do not all carry out the same function even though they share similar structures.
What is anatomical homology?
Homology refers to similarity between characteristics in different species of organisms. Bats and butterflies are quite different from each other, yet both have wings to fly; bats fly and whales swim, yet the bones in a bat's wing and whale's flipper are strikingly similar. While 'analogy' refers to different structures which perform the same function, 'homology' refers to similar structures which perform different functions. Prior to the advent of Darwinism, homology was attributed to the existence of archetypes: biological structures are similar because they conform more or less to pre-existing patterns. Charles Darwin, however, offered a different explanation for homology. Darwin proposed that bats and whales possess similar bone structures, not because they were constructed according to the same archetype (which would imply design and thus intelligent causation), but because they were inherited from a common ancestor.
What are camel spiders predators?
Large birds such as, Vultures, Eagles, and other large birds eat them.
Explain why the homologous structures in Part 1 are evidence of evolutionary relationships?
Homologous structures are the remnants of structures long ago that have evolved into other things now. This is why they are evidence of evolutionary relationships.
What are baby kestrels called?
Kestrels are a type of falcon. As with many other types of birds, baby kestrels are called chicks until they are feathered out and can fly.
What eats kestrels?
Yes, but only baby rabbits.

Do Kestrels eat mice?
Yes, kestrels eat mice and other tiny animals.
What do kestrels make their nests out off?
Kestrels will generally either find a hole to nest in - in a building or tree or cliff - or reuse the nests of other birds, for example crows. As far as I know they will never actually build a nest of their own from twigs and suchlike.
Which structures do birds share with no other animals?
Feathers
Do kestrels eat blue tits?
No. Pheasants and other related species such as grouse, turkeys and quail, eat mainly seeds and insects. They are harmless to other birds.
What is homologous structures?
A structure with similar shape but a different use
1 Which structures do birds share with no other animals?
Feathers
How are penguins similar to other birds?
All birds have wings
How do owls and kesterls survive in the same forest?
Owls are basically nocturnal birds of prey, hunting mainly at night, while kestrels and other hawks are daytime hunters.
How are penguiuns similar to other species?
they are birds
