what structures in vertebrates are homologous and which structures are analogous
Answer =
The structures in vertebrates are homologous are =
examples -
1.Limbs of birds and reptiles - They are similar structure but perform different functions.
2.limbs of reptiles and amphibians.= They are similar in related organism.
Homologous structures - are the structures that are similar in related organisms because they are inherited from a common ancestor.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The structures in vertebrates that are analogous are:
Examples -
1.Wing of bat and wing of bird. - They perform same function that is flying but they are from different evolutionary origin.
Analogous structures = The structures that are similar in unrelated organisms.analogous structures are not evolved from a common ancestor.
