Every animal has evolved to fit a niche in the environment. This require different shapes, diets, colour, skills and defenses. This accounts for the variety of appearance.

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!!
Can organisms that look different be the same species?
of course not. Animas are llike people, no to people are alike.
What are structures that have the same function but different structures called?
homologous structures
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)
How can a taxonomist might use embryological evidence in classifying an organism?
Related species have similar embryos.

What are structures that have different functions in different species but develop from the same embryonic tissue?
Homologous structures
What is a homologous sturcture?
Homologous structures are the same body parts found in different species that look different and do different things that are also made of the same thing ex. the human forearm and the wing of a bird are composed of the same bones however have a completely different appearance and function.
How are animals in the same species if they look different?

How are analogous and homologous structures different?
They are different because homologous structures have the same structure, but serve a different function. Like mammal arms(human, bat and whales). Analogous structues are different structures, but serve the same function. For example, bat wings and butterfly wings.
Can organisms that look different be the same species?
of course not. Animas are llike people, no to people are alike.
What are structures that have the same function but different structures called?
homologous structures
Why do scientist think related species have similar body structures and development patterns?

Do a female and a male gray wolf look alike or different?
They can look alike but, they don't look exactly alike. No two of any species are exactly the same.
What may have occurred to prevent species that are of the same grade from also belonging to the same clade?
similar structures arising independently in different lineages, convergent evolution among different lineages, and adaptation by different lineages to the same selective pressures
