What else can I help you with?
What do you call structures that are left over from previous evolutionary history?
I assume you are referring to structures that are left over and serve no apparent purpose. These are called vestigial structures.
What are structures that appear to have no purpose?
They are purposeless structures
What are structures that have no apparent function but resemble structures of presumed ancestors called?
These structures are called vestigial structures. They are remnants of ancestral features that no longer serve a clear purpose in the organism's current form. Examples include the human appendix and whale leg bones.
Structures that are similar are called?
Structures that are similar are called analogous structures. These structures may serve similar functions but have evolved independently in different species.
Similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor are called structures?
Homologous structures.
. The DNA of a cell is organized into structures. What are these structures called?
chromosomes
Structures that have similar structure and function but different evolutionary origins are called?
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!!
Structures that are similarly built but have different functions are called?
homologus structures
What are the colorful, leaf-like structures of flowers called?
The colorful, leaf-like structures of flowers are called petals.
1 Moss plants are held in place by thread like structures called what?
The threadlike structures are called rhizoids.
What are similar structures that evolve independently?
Similar structures that evolved independently are called analogous structures, or analogies.
What are body structures that no longer serve their original purpose called?
Vestigial structures are body parts or organs that have become reduced in size or function due to evolution and no longer serve their original purpose. These structures are remnants of ancestral traits that were once useful but are no longer essential for survival. Examples in humans include the appendix and wisdom teeth.
