Birds and bats are homoplasious because they are similar, but not derived from a common ancestor. An example of homologous structures is a man's arm and a cow's foreleg. They are anatomically similar but have different functions.

What term describes the relationship of arm bones of humans lizards birds and bats?

Homologous structures.


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.


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.


How are bats and frogs alike?

What is homologous structures?

A structure with similar shape but a different use


The wing of a bat and the foreleg of an alligator are?

Homologous structures are those that have similar looks based upon a common ancestry. THE ANSWER IS HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES!!! On the other hand, analogous structures are structures that have the same function. Bats fly, but alligators walk.


What are structures that have the same function but different structures called?

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.


Compare homologous and analogous structures?

Homologous structures are structures that indicate a related evolutionary ancestry, not just similarity. For example, the flipper of a whale, the wing of a bird, and the arm of a a human are similar in their bone structure. Analogous structures are structures that are similar in appearance and function but are not the result of shared ancestry. For example, the wings of a birds and insects have the same function, but they do not reflect a shared ancestry.


Human arm is homologous with?

Analogous and homologous?

1. HOMOLOGOUS ( morphological and anatomical evidences ) .These are the organs that have same basic structural plan and origin but different functions. 2. ANALOGOUS These are the organs that have different origin and structure plan but same function


The forelimbs of mice bats and whales all have a similar bone structure The similarities are an example of which type of structure?

homologous structures


What is a Homologouse structure?

In the diploid cell nucleus there are homologous chromosomes. During meiosis homologous chromosomes pair each other and bring about crossing over to inter change genetic material. This is how new combination of genes are created in the male and female gametes.
