Question

explain with suitable examples importance of anatomical evidences in evolution

Answer 1

Anatomical evidence is important as a physical proof for evolution. The anatomical evidence are majorly of two kinds:

Analogous structures: These are structures that have similar functions and appearance but have different biological make-up. This is a proof for evolution that unrelated species, when forced to live in similar conditions, adapted to this- but differently. examples- Body shape, size and colour in sharks and dolphins

Homologous structures: these are structures with similar biological make-up but different functions. This supports evolution that related species when exposed to different environments, adapted accordingly. examples: Wings of birds and bats

Answer 2

Explanation:

Some organs of different animals are dissimilar in function but they are made of similar bones and bony joints. For Examples human hand, cat’s foreleg, patagium of bat and flipper of whale perform different functions. Hand for holding, foreleg for walking, patagium for flying and flipper for swimming. All these organs made of similar five bones pattern.
