Structures that have similar structure and function but different evolutionary origins are called?

It is either homologous structures or homozygous structures.
Embryological structures are when different species of animals look similar in the earliest stage of development and Analogous structures are when animals look different but their function is basically the same.
So just look up homologous structures and homozygous structures in your Bio book!!

Structures with no function that are remnants of an organisms evolutionary past are?
VESTIGIAL
What are analogous structures?
Analogous structures are features of two different species that are similar in how the function, but the structure of the two features is different. The wings of an insect and the wings of a bird are analogous structures.
Does the principle of complementarity of structures and function means that the structure of a part reflects its fuction?
Function reflects structure and structure determines function
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.
What are structures that have the same function but different structures called?
homologous structures
Definition of analogous structures?
An analogous structure is a structure that has a similar function but different components. For example, the wings of a butterfly verses those of a bird. In both cases, the function is flight, but the wings are build differently.
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.
Structures with no function that are remnants of an organisms evolutionary past are?
VESTIGIAL
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).
What are analogous structures?
Analogous structures are features of two different species that are similar in how the function, but the structure of the two features is different. The wings of an insect and the wings of a bird are analogous structures.
How does structure relate to its function?
structures have different composition . they are made up of different thing every structure is different from other. function of structure depend upon its composition for example mitochondria is known as power house of the cell it provide energy to the cell and centriolles play different function for the cell because of its different composition
Define homologous structures?
homologous structures is same structure,different function
Does the principle of complementarity of structures and function means that the structure of a part reflects its fuction?
Function reflects structure and structure determines function
Distinguish between homologous structures and analogous structures?

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.
How are analogous and homologous structures different?
They are different because homologous structures have the same structure, but serve a different function. Like mammal arms(human, bat and whales). Analogous structues are different structures, but serve the same function. For example, bat wings and butterfly wings.
What is the term for structure that has no use in an organism?
Vestigial StructureA vestigial structure is a structure that appears to no longer have a use in the body.
What is vestigial strucutures?
A structure in an organism that serves little to no use. Vestigial structures are degenerated and range from slightly harmful to useless to slightly useful. They are remnants of an organism's evolutionary past.
