Answer:
Homologous vs Analogous Structures
Homologous Structure Analogous Structure
Similar anatomy Dissimilar anatomy
Dissimilar functions Similar Functions
Inherited from a common ancestor Not inherited from ancestors
Develops in related species Develops in unrelated species
A result of divergent evolution A result of convergent evolution
Developed as a result of the adaptation to a different environment Developed as a result of the adaptation to a similar environment
An arm of a human, the leg of a dog or a flipper of a whale are all homologous structures From wings in birds, bats and insects to fins in penguins and fishes are all analogous structures
These were a few differences between analogous and homologous structures. From this, we can conclude that the main difference between homologous and analogous structures is the origin of each species.
