Similarity bewtween characteristics and traits because if a shared ancestory. Link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homologous_structure Body parts that are similar in structure and function in different animals
What else can I help you with?
Where are molecular homology found?
Homology is frequently found in organic chemistry.
What three criteria are used to determine whether something is homology?
The three criteria used to determine whether something is homology are similarity in structure, similarity in function, and evidence of shared ancestry. If two features meet these criteria, they are considered homologous.
What is anatomical homology?
Homology refers to similarity between characteristics in different species of organisms. Bats and butterflies are quite different from each other, yet both have wings to fly; bats fly and whales swim, yet the bones in a bat's wing and whale's flipper are strikingly similar. While 'analogy' refers to different structures which perform the same function, 'homology' refers to similar structures which perform different functions. Prior to the advent of Darwinism, homology was attributed to the existence of archetypes: biological structures are similar because they conform more or less to pre-existing patterns. Charles Darwin, however, offered a different explanation for homology. Darwin proposed that bats and whales possess similar bone structures, not because they were constructed according to the same archetype (which would imply design and thus intelligent causation), but because they were inherited from a common ancestor.
What are the difference between homology and analogy?
A homology is a likeness in structure between separate organisms due to evolutionary events from the same part or part of a remote ancestor. Whereas analogy is a resemblance and/or comparison of some particulars between things otherwise unlike.
How has the lab technique PCR helped scientists study evolutionary relationships?
PCR helps, specifically, with finding homology between sequences of dna quickly and spefically where scientists want to look in the genomes. PCR, by using 'primers,' pinpoint exactly where they want to make copies of DNA. By making these copies, they can be read by a machine and from there, 'multiple sequence alignment' can be performed to examine evolutionary relationships. These sequences and homology matter to scientists such as structural biologists who want to find out the specific 3D shape of homologous proteins or RNA. They can use homology in, say mice (mammal) DNA sequences to make predictions about the shape of human proteins/RNA--therefore finding ways to attack a 3D structure with a new synthetic medicine.
What is Primary homology?
proposed hypothesis of homology based on similarity.
Where are molecular homology found?
Homology is frequently found in organic chemistry.
Is the humerus bone of the bird and bat an example of analogy or homology?
Homology
Is having the same name as others considered more homology or analogy?
homology
What are types of evidence used to Classify organisms in systematic?
Physical homology, Genetic homology, and Ecological niche
Homology is evidence of what?
Evolution
How do you distinguish between a homology and a analogy?
Homology- Evolved from a common ancestor Analogous- 2 similar structures that evolved differently
What has the author James W Vick written?
James W. Vick has written: 'Homology theory' -- subject(s): Homology theory
What has the author Renzo A Piccinini written?
Renzo A. Piccinini has written: 'CW-complexes, homology theory' -- subject(s): Complexes, Homology theory
What is the key distinction between homology and homoplasy when they both result in similar traits?
The key distinction between homology and homoplasy is that homology is when similar traits are inherited from a common ancestor, while homoplasy is when similar traits evolve independently in different species.
What has the author Hans Delfs written?
Hans Delfs has written: 'Homology of locally semialgebraic spaces' -- subject(s): Algebraic spaces, Homology theory
What are The three types of homologies are?
The three types of homologies are anatomical homology (similar structure), developmental homology (similar embryonic origin), and molecular homology (similar genetic sequence). These homologies provide evidence of common ancestry and evolutionary relationships among different species.
