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 is analogous structures?
Structures that have similar functions in two organisms that have not evolved from a common ancestral form. and that is the opposite from homalongouse structure of course love summer miller
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 that evolve independently?
Similar structures that evolved independently are called analogous structures, or analogies.
When similar characteristics in different organisms have evolved independently of one another is it called?
wieners.
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 is a term that describes body parts of different organisms that are similar in form?
Homologous structures (Not to be confused with Homologous pairs)
Are homologous structures similar structures in related organisms?
yes
Similarity of structure of the forelimb of a bird and a mammal is an example of what evidence?
Homologous structures - the forelimb structures are anatomically similar and were derived from a common ancestor; however, they have evolved completely different uses. This provides evidence for divergent evolution or adaptive radiation.
Some organisms that appear to be very different from other organisms are in fact quite similar anatomically Scientists believe whales evolved from land mammals for many reasons including a few intern?
