What are analogous structures?

Analogous structures are features of two different species that are similar in how the function, but the structure of the two features is different. The wings of an insect and the wings of a bird are analogous structures.


What evolution has produced many of the analogous structures in organisms today?

They don't. Homologous structures provide evidence for evolution not analogous structures.


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.


How are homologous structures different from analogous structures?

Yes, homologous structures have common bone and muscle structures suggesting that they came from an common ancestor while analogous structures do not share any similarity in features, suggesting that they derived from two separate origins.


What are similar structures that evolve independently?

Similar structures that evolved independently are called analogous structures, or analogies.


Is the concept of convergence related to the notion of analogous structures?

no


Rhizoids in molds are analogous to which structures on plants?

Roots


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 was the saber-toothed tiger rased?

Scientists speculate that the saber toothed tiger was analogous to the lion and his pride. Therefore, saber toothed tiger cubs were raised in a pride with all adults sharing the raising of the cubs.


Both homologous and analogous forms of these result from evolution?

Structures


What is the difference between homologous structures and analogous structures?

Homologous = same origin, different function (arms vs. wings) Analogous = same function, different origin (panda thumb)


What is the evolutionary process that produces analogous structures called?

The Kravic's cycle
