Write the four difference between homologous and analogous organs
Answers
Homologous Structures have similar morphology, embryology and anatomy etc. but are dissimilar in their functions. ... Analogous structures are those structures in different species which perform the same function, have similar appearance and structure but are not evolved together; therefore do not share a common ancestor.
HOMOLOGOUS ORGANS
-similar structure
-different function
-inherited from common ancestors
-develops in related species
-developed as a result of adaptation to a different environment
-example-arm of a human, leg of a dog, etc..
ANALOGOUS ORGANS
-different structure
-similar function
-not inherited from common ancestors
-develops in unrelated species
-developed as a result of adaption to a similar environment
-example-wings of bird,bat and butterfly etc..
