What are Structures in different organisms that share a common ancestry?
Homologous structure
What is vestigal structure?
Vestigial structures are anatomical structures of organisms in a species which are considered to have lost much or all of their original function through evolution.
These are physical features shared by organisms with common ancestry they may have the same structure but different functions developmentally mature organisms?
homologous structures
Why the homologous structures are evidence of evolutionary relationship?
They show similarities between organisms structure. if the similarities are large then it shows that those organisms share a common ancestor.
Morphology is the study of the?
structure of words.
What are the functions of structures?
The function of a reproductive structure is to procreate. The structures exists in order cor the creation of more organisms.
What are Structures in different organisms that share a common ancestry?
Homologous structure
What structure is developed to help organisms sense their surrounding?
Various types of sensory structures are used by various organisms.
What term describes parts of organisms that have a similar function but not a similar structure?
Homologous Structures
What describes part of organisms that have a similar function but not a similar structure?
Analogous structures fit your definition.
What tool classifies organisms based on observable structures?
An organism observable structure classifier.
What is vestigal structure?
Vestigial structures are anatomical structures of organisms in a species which are considered to have lost much or all of their original function through evolution.

homologous structures
Why do vestigial structures persist in organisms?
The environment will not select for or against organisms that have a particular structure unless that structure affects the organisms' fitness.They are called Vestigial because they persist to exist.Additionally, evolution takes time, especially when something is not pushing it forward.
What can be a disadvantage for multicellular organisms?
Some of the structures formed by specialized cells are dependent upon other structures. If one structure within the organism is unable to function, other structures may not be able to function either. Muliticellular organisms need more energy than single-celled organisms to function.
What are the varied structure and function of diverse organisms?
some of the varied structures of a diverse organism are xylem,phloem ,sterm,root,leafs, small intestine,liver,heart etc..
