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 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.
What is a term that describes body parts of different organisms that are similar in form?
Homologous structures (Not to be confused with Homologous pairs)
The approach to evolution that involves the study of similar structures that appear during the development of different organisms is known as the study of?
Comparative Embryology- This is the study of similar structures appearing during the embryonic development of related organisms.
What does it mean if two different animals possess homologous structures?
Homologous structures are similar evolutionary structures that evolved in different organisms that were used for the same purpose long ago but are no longer in use
What are similar structures that evolve independently?
Similar structures that evolved independently are called analogous structures, or analogies.
What are similar structures that evolved independently called?
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.
Similar structures that evolved independently?
homologous structures
What are similar structures inheirited from an ancestor?

Are homologous structures similar structures in related organisms?
yes
