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.
What is homologous structures?
A structure with similar shape but a different use
Is the human forelimb a homologous structure?
yes its homologous to a bats wing
What are structures that have different functions in different species but develop from the same embryonic tissue?
Homologous structures
What is a similar structure that related species inherit from a common ancestor?
A homologous structure.

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
What is homologous structures?
A structure with similar shape but a different use
How is the idea of common descent supported by example of homologous structure?
this question is to hard cant find it
Body parts similar in origin and structure are what?
homologous
What are Structures in different organisms that share a common ancestry?
Homologous structure
Is the human forelimb a homologous structure?
yes its homologous to a bats wing
Is structure and identical similar?
homologous
What are structures that have different functions in different species but develop from the same embryonic tissue?
Homologous structures
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
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.
