The human arm would be homologous, as it is homologous to various other animals, such as a whale's fin, or a chimpanzee's arm.

Distinguish between homologous structures and analogous structures?
Homologous structures have the internal structure, but different functions. For example the human arm, horse foreleg, bird wing, and whale flipper have similar internal skeletal structure, but different external structure because of their different functions. Analogous structures have similar external structure because of similar functions, but dissimilar internal structure. An example of analogous structures would be the wings of an insect and a bird.
Human arm is homologous with?
the leg of a horse
Which set of structures are homologous?
A hydrocarbon that possesses one double bond belongs to the next homologous series called alkenes.
What would be homologous to a human arm bone?
The wing of a bat. The leg of a horse...
What term is used to describe structures that come from a common ancestor?
A taxon of closely related species that share a recent common ancestor is a genus.
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.

What is the definition of homologous?
Homologous means similar to but not the same thing, as a squirrel's foreleg is homologous to a human's arm.
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).
Is a bat wing and a mouse arm a homologous structure?
Yes
Are Lobster Claw and Human arm both Homologous?
Yes.
What is the difference between analogous and homologous?
Analogous means that the structures have different origins, but they do the same things. Homologous means the opposite: that they have the same origins but are adapted to do different functions.
Human arm is homologous with?
the leg of a horse
Where on your arm would you find the fulcrum?
The elbow in the hand is analogous to the fulcrum in a lever
Which would be homologous structure to a human arm bone?
A bird's wing bone
Which set of structures are homologous?
A hydrocarbon that possesses one double bond belongs to the next homologous series called alkenes.
Are penguin flippers and bat wings homologous or analogous?
Yes they are. I disagree. Even if they ultimately come from a common ancestor, in order to classify two characteristics as homologous, they have to have some similarities. After millions of years of being in the oceans, the fins of whales have evolved such that they are not at all similar to cats' legs.
