What 3 things are required for organs to be homologous?

it is the photosynthesis,delpinorio,and the threrio


What are the difference between homologous organ and analogous organ?

Homologous organs have similar embryonic origin and basic structure whereas Analogous organs have different embryonic origin and basic structure. Homologous organs may look different and may perform different function; e.g., forelimb of a man and flipper of a whale. Whereas Analogous organs look alike and perform same functions; e.g., Wings of birds and insects.


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!!


What do reproduction organs do?

They are involved with the creation of a new copy of an animal (plant). Thus, reproductive organs are involved with the reproduction of the species.


How can evolution explain both the unity and diversity of life?

Simple. All of the millions of different life forms (the diversity of life) have come about by natural selection, whereby random mutations in the genes have either succeeded or failed. But all life can be traced back to a common single-celled origin. Thus we have the unity of life where we (possibly) share more than 50 % of our DNA with a crocodile.eg:analogous organs,homologous organs

What is homologous organs and analogous organ?

Homologous organs have similar looking structure and similar origin but different functions . Whereas analogous is just the opposite analogous organs are those that have similar function but different origin and structure

Analogous and homologous?

1. HOMOLOGOUS ( morphological and anatomical evidences ) .These are the organs that have same basic structural plan and origin but different functions. 2. ANALOGOUS These are the organs that have different origin and structure plan but same function
