Answer» \tHomologous StructureAnalogous StructureSimilar anatomyDissimilar anatomyDissimilar functionsSimilar FunctionsInherited from a common ancestorNot inherited from ancestorsDevelops in related speciesDevelops in unrelated speciesA result of divergent evolutionA result of convergent evolutionDeveloped as a result of the adaptation to a different environmentDeveloped as a result of the adaptation to a similar environmentAn arm of a human, the leg of a dog or a flipper of a whale are all homologous structuresFrom wings in birds, bats and insects to fins in penguins and fishes are all analogous structures\t Homologous Structures have similar morphology, embryology and anatomy etc. but are dissimilar in their functions. ... Analogous structures are those structures in different species which perform the same function, have similar appearance and structure but are not evolved together; therefore do not share a common ancestor. |
