Relation of homologous and analogous structures in real life situation.

EXPLANATION:

  • Comparative anatomy is defined as the differences and similarities within the anatomy of a species.  
  • Analogous structures are similar structures in different organisms.  
  • These structures are just opposite to the homologous structures.  
  • They appear similar and perform same features.
  • For example, wings of insects and wings of birds.
  • Both wings perform same features as they are used for flight.  
  • But they are not similar in shape.  
  • The wings of birds are similar to the human palm structure.
  • Analogous structure emerges from the convergent evolution.
  • Homologous structures are comparable in organisms which have the same ancestors.
  • However the capabilities performed may or may not be equal.
  • For example, whales, birds and humans all possess the same arm bone structure.
