What are structures that have different functions in different species but develop from the same embryonic tissue?
Homologous structures
What are structures that share a common evolutionary origin called?
Homologous Structures - California LIFE Science Prentice Hall (7th grade)
What is an explanation of why bird wings and reptile forelegs are evidence of evolution?
Homologous structures indicate a common ancestor
Does homologous mean that structures are similar due to having common ancestry?
homologous structures- same structure/different functions in common ancestors analogous structures-same functions/differnt structures not in common ancestors vestigial-show evolutionary history/structures that arent used anymore (i.e. human appendix/human tailbone)
Similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor are called structures?
Homologous structures.
What Similar structures that related species inherited from a common ancestor are?
Homologous structures.
How would you use homologous structure in a sentence?
I learned about homologous and heterozygous structures in Biology.
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)
Compare homologous and analogous structures?
Homologous structures are structures that indicate a related evolutionary ancestry, not just similarity. For example, the flipper of a whale, the wing of a bird, and the arm of a a human are similar in their bone structure. Analogous structures are structures that are similar in appearance and function but are not the result of shared ancestry. For example, the wings of a birds and insects have the same function, but they do not reflect a shared ancestry.
What term refers to similar structures that relate to species have inherited from common ancestors?
homologous structures (correct answer, your response)
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!!
Similar structures that evolved independently?
homologous structures
