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.

What else can I help you with?
Two species have homologous structures what do these homologous strcutures show about the evolutionary relationship between the two species?
The presence of homologous structures (for example, the bone structure in chimpanzee arms, human arms, and whale flippers) indicates that the species sharing that homologous structure share a common ancestor.
The forelimbs of mice bats and whales all have a similar bone structure The similarities are an example of which type of structure?
homologous structures
How is the idea of common descent supported by example of homologous structure?
this question is to hard cant find it
An example of a homologous structure?
Examples of Homologous Structure: Rodent teeth Hooves in species of camels, goats, sheep and cattle Hands and feet in primates Bird feathers Shark morphology
Body parts similar in origin and structure are what?
homologous
How do you use homologous structure in a sentence?
A homologous structure is an example of an organ or bone that appears in different animals, underlining anatomical commonalities demonstrating descent from a common ancestor.
Is a human appendix a homologous structure?
The human appendix (a small sac near the junction of the small and large intestine) is homologous to a structure called the "caecum", a large, blind chamber in which leaves and grasses are digested in many other mammals.http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=3246
How would you use homologous structure in a sentence?
I learned about homologous and heterozygous structures in Biology.
What is a homologous structure?
A structure with similar shape but a different use
What does it mean when dinosaurs have homologous structure?
Two samples are said to homologous, in this context, when they are both very similar in structure and shape and more than likely function.
What is homologous structures?
A structure with similar shape but a different use
What is homologouse structure?
A homologous structure is a structure found in two very different animals that has a similar form in both animals. For example, the bones of a human hand are homologous to the bones in a bat's wing or a whale's flipper. Structures that appear very similar suggest that two animal may be related, as in humans, bats, and whales, which are all mammals.
