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.

Structures that are similar are called?
Homologous
What evolution is called when unrelated organism live in similar environment?
And come up with similar solutions, both physiological and behavioral? Analogous structures arising from convergent evolution.
1 Moss plants are held in place by thread like structures called what?
The threadlike structures are called rhizoids.
Genes are located on structures called what?
The structures are called chromosomes.
The thread-like structures which are the building blocks of fungi are called?
Thread like structures in fungi are called hyphae .
What are similar structures that evolve independently?
Similar structures that evolved independently are called analogous structures, or analogies.
When similar characteristics in different organisms have evolved independently of one another is it called?
wieners.
Structures that are similar are called?
Homologous
Similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor are called structures?
Homologous structures.
Similar structures that related species have inherited from common ancestors are called?
Homologous structures.
What is an example of homologous structures?
If a bat, a human, an alligator, and a penguin all evolved from a common ancestor, then they should share common anatomical traits. In fact, they do. Compare the forelimbs of the human, the bat, the penguin, and the alligator. Find the humerus, radius, ulna, and carpals in each forelimb. Though the limbs look strikingly different on the outside and though they vary in function, they are very similar in skeletal structure. More significantly, they are derived from the same structures in the embryo. Structures that are embryologically similar, but have different functions, are called homologous structures. Though these animals look different, a comparison of homologous structures indicates that they are quite similar. This suggests that these animals evolved from a common ancestor.by: Lameace[=
How could two species that evolved on separate continents have similarities?
It's called convergent evolution. Where two species that are separated by a barrier evolve similar structures or behaviors. This is because they most likely live in similar environments that cause them to adapt similar features to survive in that particular environment.
A similar feature that evolved through convergent evolution is called a?
It's homoplasy.

What are the structures called that anchor bread to their food substance?
Rhuzoids are the structures that anchor bread molds to the substrate. They are similar to roots, only they are single-celled.
Why are homologous series of carbon compound so called?
They are said to be homologous because they have similar structures.
When all plant structures have a set of chromosomes it is called the gametophyte stage.?
Yes, and the structure is called a haploid structure
