Distinguish between homologous structures and analogous structures?
Homologous structures are features with a similar anatomical origin but have different functions, indicating common ancestry, such as the limbs of vertebrates. Analogous structures have similar functions but different anatomical origins, suggesting they evolved independently due to similar environmental pressures, like the wings of birds and insects.
Which set of structures are homologous?
A hydrocarbon that possesses one double bond belongs to the next homologous series called alkenes.
Human arm is homologous with?
the leg of a horse
What would be homologous to a human arm bone?
The wing of a bat. The leg of a horse...
What term is used to describe structures that come from a common ancestor?
A taxon of closely related species that share a recent common ancestor is a genus.
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 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 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.
Distinguish between homologous structures and analogous structures?
Homologous structures are features with a similar anatomical origin but have different functions, indicating common ancestry, such as the limbs of vertebrates. Analogous structures have similar functions but different anatomical origins, suggesting they evolved independently due to similar environmental pressures, like the wings of birds and insects.
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.
Are Lobster Claw and Human arm both Homologous?
Yes.
Where on your arm would you find the fulcrum?
The elbow in the hand is analogous to the fulcrum in a lever
Is a bat wing and a mouse arm a homologous structure?
No, a bat wing and a mouse arm are not homologous structures. Homologous structures are similar body parts that are derived from a common ancestor, while bat wings and mouse arms have different evolutionary origins and serve different functions.
Which set of structures are homologous?
A hydrocarbon that possesses one double bond belongs to the next homologous series called alkenes.
Are penguin flippers and bat wings homologous or analogous?
Yes they are. I disagree. Even if they ultimately come from a common ancestor, in order to classify two characteristics as homologous, they have to have some similarities. After millions of years of being in the oceans, the fins of whales have evolved such that they are not at all similar to cats' legs.
Human arm is homologous with?
the leg of a horse
What term describes the relationship of arm bones of humans lizards birds and bats?
Homologous structures.
