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)
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.
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)
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!!
What are structures that have the same function but different structures called?
homologous structures
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 structure describes scientists believe human arms and whale flippers were inherited from a common ancestor?
Homologous add Perhaps to a human's foot.

What is homologous structures?
A structure with similar shape but a different use
Similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor are called structures?
Homologous structures.
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.
What Similar structures that related species inherited from a common ancestor are?
Homologous structures.
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.
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)
What term refers to similar structures that relate to species have inherited from common ancestors?
homologous structures (correct answer, your response)
