Birds and bees have wings are their wings homologous features or analogous features?
Analogous Features.
Are the mouthparts of the two species homologous or analogous?
That depends on what two species you're referring to. Homologous parts are similar in structure and evolutionary origin, though not necessarily in function. for example: human arms and bat's wings Analogous parts, on the other hand function similarly, but may not be similar in structure or evolutionary origin. example: a butterfly's wings and birds' wings
Are to birds as scales are to fish?
_______ are to birds as scales are to fish
What are the only mammals with wings?
No, insects and bats have wings and neither of them are birds.
What animals have two legs with wings and bills?
Birds have two legs with wings and bills.
Birds and bees have wings are their wings homologous features or analogous features?
Analogous Features.
Are the wings of birds and the wings of bats homologous or analogous structures?
They are both. They are homologous because they are both examples of a vertebrate forelimb. They are analogous because they were adapted for flight independently of one another.
What are homologous structures between birds and bats?
Wings in both birds and bats are considered homologous structures. They have a similar function (flight) but different evolutionary origins – birds have wings made of feathers while bats have wings made of skin stretched between elongated finger bones.
Which type of anatomic structure are birds wings and human arms when compared to each other?
Homologous
Is a wing of a bird homologous to the wing of a cat?
In biology, homologous structures are defined as structures which serve the same purposes because they evolved from the same source (divergent evolution), the opposite of analogous structures, which serve the same purpose but evolved through convergent evolution. Birds' wings and bats' wings are both homologous and analogous. As wings, the two are analogous, but as forelimbs, the two are homologous.
Are butterfly wings and bird wings examples of analogous structures?
Yes. Though they both enable the organism to fly, they are different on the inside. Bird wings have tiny bones in them, while butterfly wings are kept rigid by fluid pressure. Therefore, they have a similar function but different structures and are analogous.
Are penguin flippers and bat wings homologous or analogous?
Yes they are. I disagree. Even if they ultimately come from a common ancestor, in order to classify two characteristics as homologous, they have to have some similarities. After millions of years of being in the oceans, the fins of whales have evolved such that they are not at all similar to cats' legs.
Are the mouthparts of the two species homologous or analogous?
That depends on what two species you're referring to. Homologous parts are similar in structure and evolutionary origin, though not necessarily in function. for example: human arms and bat's wings Analogous parts, on the other hand function similarly, but may not be similar in structure or evolutionary origin. example: a butterfly's wings and birds' wings
What is homologous structures?
A structure with similar shape but a different use
Are bird wings and butterfly wings homologous structures?
There are a few different similarities between the wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bat. Both are used to fly for example.
An example of a homologous structure?
Examples of Homologous Structure: Rodent teeth Hooves in species of camels, goats, sheep and cattle Hands and feet in primates Bird feathers Shark morphology
What are 2 limbs that are vestigal and why?
There are vestiges of leg bones and pelvises in cetaceans and snakes. The wings of ostriches and other flightless birds are also vestigial. These limbs are vestigial because although they are homologous to the legs and wings of other creatures, they have little or none of their function.
