Does homologous mean that structures are similar due to having common ancestry?
homologous structures- same structure/different functions in common ancestors analogous structures-same functions/differnt structures not in common ancestors vestigial-show evolutionary history/structures that arent used anymore (i.e. human appendix/human tailbone)
Plant and animal cells have certain structures in common they also have certain structures that are different Why?
Plant and animal cells share common structures such as the nucleus, cell membrane, and mitochondria because they are essential for basic cellular functions. However, they have different structures like chloroplasts in plant cells for photosynthesis and centrioles in animal cells for cell division, reflecting their distinct functions and specialized adaptations to their environments.
What are similar structures?
Homologous
What are the functions for the cell structures?
structures that perform the organic functions at the level of the whole body are called
What is analogous structures?
Structures that have similar functions in two organisms that have not evolved from a common ancestral form. and that is the opposite from homalongouse structure of course love summer miller

Microscopic organisms exhibiting some common features found only in animals?
Microscopic organisms exhibiting some common features found only in animals. Some of them include locomotion, feeding and using their structures for various functions.
Which structures are common to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Some structures that are common to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes include ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane, and DNA molecules. These structures are essential for basic cellular functions such as protein synthesis, cell structure, and genetic information storage.
What are some are structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor called?
Some structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor are homologous structures, which are similar in form and function but may have different appearances due to adaptations to different environments. Another example is vestigial structures, which are remnants of structures that were functional in ancestral species but have reduced or lost their original function in descendants. Analogous structures are also seen in related species, having similar functions but different origins, such as the wings of birds and insects.
Do all plants have leaves, or are there some exceptions to this common characteristic?
Not all plants have leaves. Some plants, like mosses and ferns, do not have true leaves but instead have structures that serve similar functions.
What are structures that have different functions in different species but develop from the same embryonic tissue?
Homologous structures are anatomical structures that share a common evolutionary origin, but may have different functions in different species. These structures develop from the same embryonic tissue and demonstrate evolutionary relationships between species. An example is the forelimbs of vertebrates, which have different functions such as wings in birds, flippers in whales, and arms in humans.
Plant and animal cells have certain structures in common they also have certain structures that are different Why?
Plant and animal cells share common structures such as the nucleus, cell membrane, and mitochondria because they are essential for basic cellular functions. However, they have different structures like chloroplasts in plant cells for photosynthesis and centrioles in animal cells for cell division, reflecting their distinct functions and specialized adaptations to their environments.
Do homologous structures have dissimilar constructions?
No, homologous structures have similar structures and origins but may have different functions. They are inherited from a common ancestor and can be modified over time to perform different roles in different species.
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
What are structures that share a common evolutionary origin called?
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Structures that share a common evolutionary origin are called homologous structures. They may look different or have different functions now, but deep down, they come from the same place in nature. Just like how every tree in the forest has its own unique story, these structures remind us of the beautiful connections in the world around us.
What are similar structures?
Homologous
What is the difference between homoplasy and homologous structures in evolutionary biology?
Homoplasy refers to similarities in traits between different species that are not inherited from a common ancestor, while homologous structures are traits that are inherited from a common ancestor and have similar functions.
