These structures do not share a common origin but are similar anatomically and the result of convergent evolution (e.g. wings on birds and on flying foxes).
A) Analogous
B) Homologous
C) Comparable
D) Dynamic
E) Large
B) Homologous
Homologous structures are anatomically similar i.e. they have the same basic bone structures.
These structures do not share a common origin but are similar anatomically and the result of...
For the purposes of this assignment, you are to choose an adaptive trait common to more than one species. For example, birds and bats both have wings. Write a 2-3 page (500 – 750 words, 12 point font) paper including the following elements. Be sure to compose your work with your own words. Do not copy and paste from any source. Describe what makes this trait an adaptation. Briefly describe how the trait evolved; e.g., mutation, genetic drift, migration and/or...
Predd loelomate 3. Any two structures that are similar and arise from a (most recent common ancestor are said to be a. analogous b. morphological C. biochemical d. homologous e. homogeneous
Structures as different as horse hooves, bat wings, and whale flippers contain pentadactyl bones that develop from the same embryonic tissues. How have evolutionary biologists interpreted these similarities? a) By proposing that horses, bats, and whales share a common ancestor. b) By identifying the bones as being analogous structures. c) By applying the principle of convergent evolution. d) Two of the other statements are correct Please help

Misalignment e.None of these are correct 2.Which term is not correctly matched with its definition? a. Analogous structures - similar structures as a result of convergent evolution b. Homologous genes - genes related due to common ancestry c. Orthologous genes - genes related due to a speciation event d. Paralogous genes...
1. Which of the following is/are required for natural selection to occur? A. The trait must be used or it will no longer be passed down B. Trait must be inherited from the father, not mother C. The species could produce more offspring than their environment can support D. Members of the population must have inherited traits that could vary E. Members must have an equal ability to survive and reproduce 2. Which of the following statements is/are true? A....

It caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Which of the following statements about taxonomy is FALSE? A. Species that are in the same...
