Is tendril of a plant and phylloclade of opuntia are homologous or analogous?
Tendrils of a plant and phylloclades of Opuntia are analogous structures. They serve similar functions (support and water storage) but have different origins. Tendrils are modified leaves or stems, while phylloclades are modified branches.

What is the difference between analogous and homologous?
Analogous means that the structures have different origins, but they do the same things. Homologous means the opposite: that they have the same origins but are adapted to do different functions.
Why must biologists be able to distinguish homologous traits from analogous traits?
Biologists need to distinguish homologous traits (traits inherited from a common ancestor) from analogous traits (similar traits that result from convergent evolution) to accurately reconstruct evolutionary relationships and understand the evolutionary history of organisms. This distinction is crucial for inferring patterns of descent and making evolutionary inferences.
How are homologous different?
Homologous chromosomes are a set of chromosome pairs, one set maternal and the other paternal, that pair up during meiosis, the production of reproductive cells. The pairs have the same genes in the same locations, though once spread out the different pairs segregate out. the biggest way that these chromosomes change up is by exchanging lengths of the material.
Are Shark and dolphin fins analogous or homologous?
Analogous!
Are similarities between sharks and dolphins homologous or analogous?
analogous
Are the wings of birds and the wings of bats homologous or analogous structures?
They are both. They are homologous because they are both examples of a vertebrate forelimb. They are analogous because they were adapted for flight independently of one another.
What is homologous organs and analogous organ?
Homologous organs have similar looking structure and similar origin but different functions . Whereas analogous is just the opposite analogous organs are those that have similar function but different origin and structure
Both homologous and analogous forms of these result from evolution?
Structures
What is the difference between vestigial homologous and analogous?

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)
Is a wing of a bird homologous to the wing of a cat?
In biology, homologous structures are defined as structures which serve the same purposes because they evolved from the same source (divergent evolution), the opposite of analogous structures, which serve the same purpose but evolved through convergent evolution. Birds' wings and bats' wings are both homologous and analogous. As wings, the two are analogous, but as forelimbs, the two are homologous.

What are the difference between homologous organ and analogous organ?
Homologous organs have similar embryonic origin and basic structure whereas Analogous organs have different embryonic origin and basic structure. Homologous organs may look different and may perform different function; e.g., forelimb of a man and flipper of a whale. Whereas Analogous organs look alike and perform same functions; e.g., Wings of birds and insects.
What another word for analogous?

Are mosquitoes and horsefly homologous or analogous?
Homologous means that there is a body part that has the same makeup of a body part of a different organism. Therefore, mosquitos and horseflies have mouth parts that are homologous.
