Analogous and Homologous

This kind of structure is when the structures have the same function but have a different structure/form. 

• analogous structure

• homologous structure

• vestigial structure

The image shows an example of..

When very different animals have bones that appear very similar in form or function and seem to be related.  It is used to try to prove there are common ancestors.

Structures that have similar functions but different origins

• analogous structures

• homologous structures

• vestigial structures

An example of this is: Wings of a moth and wings of a bird are both for flying but they are entirely different structures

• analogous structures

• homologous structures

• vestigial structures
