A homologous structure is an example of an organ or bone that appears in different animals, underlining anatomical commonalities demonstrating descent from a common ancestor.
A structure with similar shape but a different use
The homologous is the study of animals.
Yes, the human forelimb is considered a homologous structure because it shares a common evolutionary origin with the forelimbs of other vertebrates. Despite variations in function and appearance, the underlying bone structure and developmental pathways are similar across species.
A total of 7 homologous pairs are present in 14 chromosomes. Homologous pairs are sets of chromosomes that contain the same genes, one inherited from each parent, and are similar in size and structure.
Examples of Homologous Structure: Rodent teeth Hooves in species of camels, goats, sheep and cattle Hands and feet in primates Bird feathers Shark morphology
I learned about homologous and heterozygous structures in Biology.

if something is really cool when you are talking with your friends you can say 'thats so homologous' hope i helped.

A structure with similar shape but a different use
The human appendix (a small sac near the junction of the small and large intestine) is homologous to a structure called the "caecum", a large, blind chamber in which leaves and grasses are digested in many other mammals.http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=3246
Two samples are said to homologous, in this context, when they are both very similar in structure and shape and more than likely function.

homologous
The presence of homologous structures (for example, the bone structure in chimpanzee arms, human arms, and whale flippers) indicates that the species sharing that homologous structure share a common ancestor.
