homologous structures- same structure/different functions in common ancestors
analogous structures-same functions/differnt structures not in common ancestors
vestigial-show evolutionary history/structures that arent used anymore (i.e. human appendix/human tailbone)

What are Structures in different organisms that share a common ancestry?
Homologous structure
What is the structure that are similar to each other due to common ancestry?
homologous
These are physical features shared by organisms with common ancestry they may have the same structure but different functions developmentally mature organisms?
homologous structures
What does the presence of homologous genes in very dissimilar organisms imply?
It implies common ancestry.
Homologous structures in organisms suggest that the organisms?
common ancestor
Structures that share a common ancestry or are similar because they are modified versions of structures from a common ancestor are?
Homologous
What are Structures in different organisms that share a common ancestry?
Homologous structure
The wing of a bat and the foreleg of an alligator are?
Homologous structures are those that have similar looks based upon a common ancestry. THE ANSWER IS HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES!!! On the other hand, analogous structures are structures that have the same function. Bats fly, but alligators walk.
What are structures that share a common evolutionary origin called?
Homologous Structures - California LIFE Science Prentice Hall (7th grade)
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 homologous structures in different species evidence of?
Homologous structures in different species are evidence of a common evolutionary ancestry. These structures have a similar origin, but may have different functions in different species. Studying homologous structures helps researchers understand how species have diverged and evolved over time.
What Similar structures that related species inherited from a common ancestor are?
Homologous structures.
Similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor are called structures?
Homologous structures.
What is the structure that are similar to each other due to common ancestry?
homologous
What term refers to similar structures that relate to species have inherited from common ancestors?
homologous structures (correct answer, your response)
How is homologous structures an example of evolution?
Though the forelimb of your cat or dog does not look much like your arms these are homologous structures that are almost identical bone for bone. This shows the common ancestry of all tetrapods and the closer common ancestry of you and your mammal pets.
Structures that share a common ancestory or a similar because they are modified versions of structures from a common ancestor are?
Homologous structures.
