different between homologous and analogous
Answers
Answer:
Analogous structures have different evolutionary ancestries but they have the same function. Examples of these types of structures are the wings of birds, bats and insects. Homologous structures are the opposite; they have similar ancestries and common traits but maybe not have the same function in an organism.
Explanation:
HOMOLOGOUS ORGANS ANALOGOUS ORGANS
1. They differ morphologically.
1. They show a superficial resemblance.
2. They have a similar internal structure.
2. Their internal structure is quite different.
3. They develop in related organisms.
3. They develop in unrelated organisms.
4. Stages in the development are similar.
4. Stages in the development are different.
5. They perform different functions.
5. They have similar functions.
6. They have a similar developmental pattern.
6. They have the dissimilar developmental pattern.
7. Homologous organs show adaptive radiation (divergent evolution).
7. Analogous organs show convergent evolution.
