Is the human forelimb a homologous structure?
yes its homologous to a bats wing
Which would be a homologous structure to a human?
A bird's wing bone
Which would be homologous structure to a human arm bone?
A bird's wing bone
What would be homologous to a human arm bone?
The wing of a bat. The leg of a horse...
How can a bats wing be considered a homologous structure and an analogous?
They are homologous in the sense that all tetrapods share that forelimb structure. They are analogous because both bats and birds adapted flight to their local environmental conditions. One being a mammal, that has the finger extension type wing and one being aves with the full forelimb extending the wing. They have the flight in common, but not the structures, so are analogous. They have an ancestral condition leading to the similarity of forelimb structure and so are homologous.
Is a wing of a bird homologous to the wing of a cat?
In biology, homologous structures are defined as structures which serve the same purposes because they evolved from the same source (divergent evolution), the opposite of analogous structures, which serve the same purpose but evolved through convergent evolution. Birds' wings and bats' wings are both homologous and analogous. As wings, the two are analogous, but as forelimbs, the two are homologous.
What would be an a homologous structure to a human arm bone?
Arm bones of all mammals . APEX=A bird's wing bone
Human forearms and a bat's wings are?
Bat's wings are the equivalent of the human arm. The bats fingers are highly elongated to produce the wing tip as well as support for the wing's membrane. The forearm provides wing length on the far side of the elbow that can be folded back against the upper arm (humerus) when they are at rest.
The wing of a bat and the foreleg of an alligator are?
Homologous structures are those that have similar looks based upon a common ancestry. THE ANSWER IS HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES!!! On the other hand, analogous structures are structures that have the same function. Bats fly, but alligators walk.
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.
What organ is human arms bats wing and seals flipper?
Limbs.
Is a bat wing and a mouse arm a homologous structure?
Yes
