An example of structures with different origin but same function is the wings of a bird and the wings of a butterfly. These structures have evolved independently in birds and insects to serve the same function of flying, but they have different origins in terms of their underlying anatomical structures and developmental pathways.

What is the difference between homologues and analogues?

homologues= same function different origin analogues= same origin with possibly a different function


What is the difference between homologous structures and analogous structures?

Homologous = same origin, different function (arms vs. wings) Analogous = same function, different origin (panda thumb)


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


Does heart muscle has the same structure as the arm muscle?

No heart muscles are different from arm muscles. They are not same either structure vise or by function wise , both have seperate entity and function.


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 an analogus organ?

An analogous organ is a structure in different species that serves the same function but does not share a common evolutionary origin. For example, the wings of birds and insects are analogous organs as they both serve the function of flight but evolved independently.


What are the difference between homologous organ and analogous organ?

Homologous organs have similar embryonic origin and basic structure whereas Analogous organs have different embryonic origin and basic structure. Homologous organs may look different and may perform different function; e.g., forelimb of a man and flipper of a whale. Whereas Analogous organs look alike and perform same functions; e.g., Wings of birds and insects.


When a group of cells that all have the same basic structure and function come together what do they form?

A group of cells with the same basic structure and function makes a tissue. Different tissues come together to make organs.


Why are all cells not the same in terms of their structure and function?

Cells are not all the same in structure and function because they have different roles and specialized functions within the body. This specialization allows cells to perform specific tasks efficiently, contributing to the overall functioning of the organism.


You are looking through a microscope at some cells each of the cells has a different structure What can you infer about these cells?

The cells likely belong to different types within the same organism, each serving a specific function. Variations in cell structure can indicate specialization for different roles. This diversity in cell structure contributes to the overall function and health of the organism.


What is an analogous structure?

You can say that they provide the same function for the organism, but their origin i different. For example, bats, birds and dragonflies all have wings, but bone placement isn't present in dragonflies as it is in birds and bats. They all let them fly, but they evolved into that form in different ways. It's two structures (or more) that perform the same function but evolved separately.


Which categories the spine of cactus and thorn of Bougainvillea belong and why?

actually, they are fall in the category of analogous groups. as they do the same function but have different structure.
