Which would be homologous structure to a human arm bone?
A bird's wing bone
What would be an a homologous structure to a human arm bone?
Arm bones of all mammals . APEX=A bird's wing bone
What is an example of an analogous structure?
The correct answer is birds wing and butterfly's wing
What do homologous structure tells us?
That the organisms with homologous structures are of, at least, common ancestry and at most closely related. A backbone is a homologous structure that land and sea dwelling vertebrates possess in common because all can trace the backbone back to a common ancestor in the Precambrian. Now, a dogs front leg and your arm have the same bones, point for point, just differing growth patterns. This shows that you and your dog are closely related as both of you are advanced mammals.
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.
Which would be homologous structure to a human arm bone?
A bird's wing bone
What would be an a homologous structure to a human arm bone?
Arm bones of all mammals . APEX=A bird's wing bone
Which set of structures are homologous?
A hydrocarbon that possesses one double bond belongs to the next homologous series called alkenes.
What would be homologous to a human arm bone?
The wing of a bat. The leg of a horse...
What is the relationship between homologous structure and analogous structure?
Homologous structures refer to structures on different species that are similar in function and their evolutionary origin. Analogous structures are similar in function but do not share a similarity in evolutionary origin.
What anatomical structure is similar to a wing of a bird?
The arm of a man.
Human forearms and a bat's wings are?
Bat's wings are the equivalent of the human arm. The bats fingers are highly elongated to produce the wing tip as well as support for the wing's membrane. The forearm provides wing length on the far side of the elbow that can be folded back against the upper arm (humerus) when they are at rest.
Is a arm analogous homologous or a vestigal feature?
The human arm would be homologous, as it is homologous to various other animals, such as a whale's fin, or a chimpanzee's arm.
Distinguish between homologous structures and analogous structures?
Homologous structures have the internal structure, but different functions. For example the human arm, horse foreleg, bird wing, and whale flipper have similar internal skeletal structure, but different external structure because of their different functions. Analogous structures have similar external structure because of similar functions, but dissimilar internal structure. An example of analogous structures would be the wings of an insect and a bird.
What is an example of an analogous structure?
The correct answer is birds wing and butterfly's wing
What is the definition of homologous?
Homologous means similar to but not the same thing, as a squirrel's foreleg is homologous to a human's arm.
Compare homologous and analogous structures?
Homologous structures are similar in structure but different in function, indicating shared ancestry (such as the bones in the limbs of humans and bats). Analogous structures have similar functions but different origins, suggesting convergent evolution (like the wings of birds and insects).
