Homologous structures.

Homologous
How are the structures of arteries capillaries and veins similar and how are they different?
The structures of arteries, capillaries, and veins are all different, because of their different functions. The only way that they are similar is because they are hollow, and have some elasticity.

What are similar structures that evolve independently?
Similar structures that evolved independently are called analogous structures, or analogies.
When we burn pure silk thread it smells similar to burning of hair. Explain?
It smells similar because of the proteins present in the silk thread. When we burn hair it has the same smell because proteins are also present in the hair (keratin).

Is it true that proteins at the inner surface of the plasma membrane attach the membrane to the cells support structure making the cell rigid?
The primary proteins of cellular structure (such as in microfilaments or intermediate tubules) is myosin and actin, and sometimes collagen, and all of these are proteins in the cell. Because proteins generally connect to similar structures (aka other proteins), and the cellular membrane must SOMEHOW be attached to the primary cell structure, and it is easier to connect to the inner membrane than outer, the answer is yes.
Why do the body structures of some species support Darwin's theory?
a cell can make mistakes when it copies what in the dna
What are similar structures that evolved independently called?
Similar structures that have evolved independently are called homologous structures. An example would be the wings of a bird and the wings of an insect.
How is volume similar to capacity?
They are both often used interchangeably, simply because they refer to the same thing - namely the amount of space an object contains within it.
Similar structures that evolved independently?
homologous structures
