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.
