Homologous structures - the forelimb structures are anatomically similar and were derived from a common ancestor; however, they have evolved completely different uses. This provides evidence for divergent evolution or adaptive radiation.
What else can I help you with?
The structure of the forelimb of a bird is similar in structure to that of the forelimb of a mammal suggesting that both descended from a common ancestor. What is this similarity an example of?

What forelimb of a bird and forelimb of a mammal descended from a common ancestor this similarity is an example of?
Homology.
The structure of the forearm of a bird is similar to that of the forearm of a mammal sugguesting that both desened from a common ancestor this similarity is an example of?
Homology.
Who is a person from whom one is descended?
You are descended from ancestors.
What is Anatomical Similarity?
In biology, anatomical similarity refers to the fact that members of the same class of animals tend to have similar structures and organs, even though they may not look the same externally. For example, humans and horses share anatomical similarity, and nearly every structure in one can be found in the other -- although it might be difficult to identify: fingernails and hooves, for instance.
A group of people descended from the same ancestor?
clan
How are homologous structures different from analogous structures?
Yes, homologous structures have common bone and muscle structures suggesting that they came from an common ancestor while analogous structures do not share any similarity in features, suggesting that they derived from two separate origins.
What is a group of people descended from the same ancestor called?
A clan.
What is the name given to a group of people descended from the same ancestor?
A group of people all descended from the same ancestor may be called a family, a clan, a tribe, or a people, depending on the context.
What does the principle of common descent imply about humans?
Apes and humans descended from the same common ancestor.
What is a similar structure that related species inherit from a common ancestor?
Homologous structures are similar structures that related species inherit from a common ancestor. These structures may have different functions in different species but share a similar underlying anatomy, suggesting shared evolutionary origins. Examples include the wing of a bird and the flipper of a whale, both being modified versions of the forelimb structure shared by their common ancestor.
What is the difference between ancestor and descendant?
An ancestor is a person from whom one is descended, while a descendant is a person who is descended from a particular ancestor. An ancestor is someone who comes before you in a family tree, while a descendant comes after you in a family tree.
