These are similar structures that animals may share in early development that come from a common ancestor. For example, if you were to take a look at chickens and turtles still in an egg, believe it or not they would look quite similar.
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.
homologous structures
this question is to hard cant find it
homologous
Examples of Homologous Structure: Rodent teeth Hooves in species of camels, goats, sheep and cattle Hands and feet in primates Bird feathers Shark morphology
The human appendix (a small sac near the junction of the small and large intestine) is homologous to a structure called the "caecum", a large, blind chamber in which leaves and grasses are digested in many other mammals.http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=3246
A homologous structure is an example of an organ or bone that appears in different animals, underlining anatomical commonalities demonstrating descent from a common ancestor.
I learned about homologous and heterozygous structures in Biology.
A structure with similar shape but a different use
Two samples are said to homologous, in this context, when they are both very similar in structure and shape and more than likely function.
