Fossils and Comparative Anatomy

What is an Analogous structure

• An Analogous structure is similar in function but not in structure.

• An Analogous structure is similar in structure but not in function

• An Analogous structure is a body part that is not needed anymore

• An Analogous structure is the study of a gene structure and a function

What is a fossil

• Fossils are any perserved remains, impressions, or trace of any once living organism from the past

• Fossils are made up of all the fossils ever discussed on Earth

• Fossils are just big rocks that are buried

• Fossils are only dinosaurs
