Homologous
Similar structures that evolved independently are called convergent evolution. This occurs when different species adapt to similar environmental pressures and develop analogous traits, even though they do not share a common ancestor that had those traits.
Convergent evolution is when unrelated organisms develop similar traits or characteristics due to living in similar environments. This can result in analogous structures that serve the same function but have different evolutionary origins.
Analogous structures are body parts that have a similar function in different species but have evolved separately, thus not sharing a common ancestor. These structures result from convergent evolution, where organisms adapt to similar environmental pressures.
Some structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor are homologous structures, which are similar in form and function but may have different appearances due to adaptations to different environments. Another example is vestigial structures, which are remnants of structures that were functional in ancestral species but have reduced or lost their original function in descendants. Analogous structures are also seen in related species, having similar functions but different origins, such as the wings of birds and insects.
Scientists refer to similar structures as homologous structures. These are traits that are shared between different species due to common ancestry, even if their functions may have evolved differently over time.
Similar structures that evolved independently are called analogous structures, or analogies.

Homologous structures.
Homologous structures.
Analogous structures are structures that have the same function but different structures. They have evolved independently in different organisms to perform similar roles in response to similar environmental pressures. An example is the wings of birds and bats, which have different structures but both serve the same function of flight.
Yes, and the structure is called a haploid structure
Rhuzoids are the structures that anchor bread molds to the substrate. They are similar to roots, only they are single-celled.
Related species have similar embryos.
The evolutionary process that produces analogous structures is called convergent evolution. Convergent evolution refers to the independent evolution of similar traits in species that are not closely related, usually in response to similar environmental pressures.
homologous structures
homologous structures
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!!
