Forelimbs of an insect praying mantis and human perform the same function of grasping. These are: O Homologous organs O Vestigial organs O Analogous organs Rudimentary organs
Answers
Answer:
The praying mantis is named for its prominent front legs, which are bent and held together at an angle that suggests the position of prayer.
Hunting adaptations
By any name, these fascinating insects are formidable predators. They have triangular heads poised on a long "neck," or elongated thorax. Mantids can turn their heads 180 degrees to scan their surroundings with two large compound eyes and three other simple eyes located between them.
Typically green or brown and well camouflaged on the plants among which they live, mantis lie in ambush or patiently stalk their quarry. They use their front legs to snare their prey with reflexes so quick that they are difficult to see with the naked eye. Their legs are further equipped with spikes for snaring prey and pinning it in place.
Breeding and behavior
Moths, crickets, grasshoppers, flies, and other insects are usually the unfortunate recipients of unwanted mantid attention. However, the insects will also eat others of their own kind. The most famous example of this is the notorious mating behavior of the adult female, who sometimes eats her mate just after—or even during—mating. Yet this behavior seems not to deter males from reproduction
Answer: Analogous organ
Explanation:
•Homologous organs have anatomically similar structure but different function.
•Analogous organs have different structure anatomically but similar function.
•Vestigeal organs are not functional anymore the way they were in the ancestral form.
Hence, forelimb of praying mantis and human are anatomically different but perform the same function of grasping, so they are examples of analogous organs.
