How are homologous structures different from analogous structures?

Yes, homologous structures have common bone and muscle structures suggesting that they came from an common ancestor while analogous structures do not share any similarity in features, suggesting that they derived from two separate origins.

What is the difference between homologous analogous and vestigial structures?

How is homologous vs analogous structures a part of evolution?
My spidey senses are telling me to tell you to look in your book.
Birds and bees have wings are their wings homologous features or analogous features?
Analogous Features.
How can a bats wing be considered a homologous structure and an analogous?
They are homologous in the sense that all tetrapods share that forelimb structure. They are analogous because both bats and birds adapted flight to their local environmental conditions. One being a mammal, that has the finger extension type wing and one being aves with the full forelimb extending the wing. They have the flight in common, but not the structures, so are analogous. They have an ancestral condition leading to the similarity of forelimb structure and so are homologous.
What Similar structures that related species inherited from a common ancestor are?
Homologous structures.
What is the difference between homologous structures and analogous structures?
Homologous = same origin, different function (arms vs. wings) Analogous = same function, different origin (panda thumb)
How are analogous and homologous structures different?
They are different because homologous structures have the same structure, but serve a different function. Like mammal arms(human, bat and whales). Analogous structues are different structures, but serve the same function. For example, bat wings and butterfly wings.
Structures that have similar structure and function but different evolutionary origins are called?
It is either homologous structures or homozygous structures. Embryological structures are when different species of animals look similar in the earliest stage of development and Analogous structures are when animals look different but their function is basically the same. So just look up homologous structures and homozygous structures in your Bio book!!
Distinguish between homologous structures and analogous structures?
Homologous structures have the internal structure, but different functions. For example the human arm, horse foreleg, bird wing, and whale flipper have similar internal skeletal structure, but different external structure because of their different functions. Analogous structures have similar external structure because of similar functions, but dissimilar internal structure. An example of analogous structures would be the wings of an insect and a bird.
What is the relationship between homologous structure and analogous structure?
Homologous structures refer to structures on different species that are similar in function and their evolutionary origin. Analogous structures are similar in function but do not share a similarity in evolutionary origin.
Both homologous and analogous forms of these result from evolution?
Structures
What evolution has produced many of the analogous structures in organisms today?
They don't. Homologous structures provide evidence for evolution not analogous structures.
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.
What is the difference between homologous analogous and vestigial structures?

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 structures that have different functions in different species but develop from the same embryonic tissue?
Homologous structures
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)
