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.
What is a homoplastic structure?
A homoplastic structure refers to anatomical features that are similar in different species due to convergent evolution rather than shared ancestry. These structures serve similar functions but have evolved independently in response to similar environmental pressures. An example is the wings of bats and birds, which serve the purpose of flight but developed separately in these distinct groups. Homoplastic structures illustrate how different organisms can adapt to similar challenges in their environments.
Is structure and identical similar?
Structure and identical are not similar. Structure refers to the way something is organized or built, while identical means exactly the same.
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.
Hip socket is known as the?
The acetabulum is a concave surface of the pelvis. The head of the femur meets with the pelvis at the acetabulum, forming the hip joint
Does a saurischian have a hip structure similar to birds?
Yes
What had a hip structure similar to birds?
Theropod dinosaurs for one.
Had a hip structure similar to birds?
Ornithischians with a hip structure similar to that of present day birds.
How are the parts of the birds and fish similar in structure and function?
how are parts of birds & fish similar in structure & function
How are the parts of birds and fish similar in structures and functions?
how are parts of birds & fish similar in structure & function
What anatomical evidence is found supporting evolution?
vestigial organs such as a tail bone in humans and a hip bone in whales. also, the skeletal structure of wings of birds, flippers of whales, and hands of humans are all very very similar in structure.
How are the parts of birds and fish similar in structure and function?
how are parts of birds & fish similar in structure & function
What is anatomically similar structure inherited from a common ancestor?
The pentadactyl limb structure, found in mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, is inherited from a common ancestor. Despite modifications for different functions, such as wings in birds and flippers in whales, the underlying bone structure remains similar.
What is a homologous structure?
A structure with similar shape but a different use
Which of the three taxa of dinosaurs which do birds belong?
Dinosaurs were divided into two big groups: ornistichia (bird hip) and saurischia (lizard hip). The confussing part is that scientists believe that birds evolved from a group of therapods similar to small velociraptors and therapods are saurischia.
Why do people think some dinosaurs where apart of the bird species?
because some dinosaurs like the velociraptor have been discovered with feathers. and even some dinosaurs in there bone structure have the shape of birds. like the t-rex has the hip structure of a lizard and the velociraptor had the hip structure of a modern day bird
Did birds evolve from lizards?
No, birds didn't evolve from lizards, but they did evolve from dinosaurs, a different group of reptiles. Dinosaurs are different from lizards especially because of their hip structure. Birds descended from a group of dinosaurs known as theropods (bipedal carnivores)
