All insects have some very distinct structures in common. First is bilateral symmetry and three pairs of legs attached to a body with three major parts, the head, thorax and abdomen. All insects have exoskeletons and an open respiratory system as well.

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.


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)


Are homologous structures similar structures in related organisms?

yes


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 is a term that describes body parts of different organisms that are similar in form?

Homologous structures are body parts of different organisms that have a similar form, suggesting a common evolutionary origin. These structures may serve different functions in each organism but share a common ancestry.


Define homologous structures?
