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.
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.
Convergent evolution is the term used to describe the phenomenon of similar traits occurring in groups or species that are not closely related. This usually occurs when unrelated groups develop a trait independently of one another due to similar evolutionary pressures. An example of convergent evolution is the presence of wings in birds and bats. Bats are a mammal and are not closely related to birds but both have wings to fill the same purpose, flight.
The scientific name of bat is Pipistrellus Pipistrellus that is a common bat's scientific name .
The scientific name for Philippine Bamboo bats is Tylonycteris robustula.
The scientific name for bat is Chiroptera.
Homologous 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.
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.
they are both homologous structures
A structure with similar shape but a different use
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.
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.
Homologous structures are structures that indicate a related evolutionary ancestry, not just similarity.

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
homologous structures
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.
