You have now studied three different types of anatomical structures. Homologous structures show individual variations on a common anatomical theme. These are seen in organisms that are closely related. 1. Give an example of a homologous structure from this activity: • Analogous structures have very different anatomies but similar functions. These are seen in organismsthat are not necessarily closely related but live in similar environments and have similar adaptations. 2. Give an example of an analogous structure from this activity: Vestigial structures are anatomical remnants that were important in the organism's ancestors but are nolonger used in the same way. 3. Give an example of a vestigial structure from this activity:

Can someone pleae help with 3 question for my biology homework thank you 1)List two traits that animals share with other organisms, and three traits that are unique to animals. 2)Explain the difference between protostome development and deuterostome development. Use full sentences. 3)As discussed in class, animals are classified into different phyla based on the presence of tissues. Define the two options for animals with true tissues, and give a specific animal phylum as an example of each option.
6. Organisms classified as “birds” share a common feature. What shared derived character defined this taxonomic group? 7. What feature is present in all animals but is not present in birds and reptiles? 8. Reptiles, birds, and mammals are amniotes. I’m addition to an amniotic egg, the common ancestor of all reptiles, birds, and mammals had a thick epidermal layer of scales partially composed of a protein called keratin. Keratinized skin helps prevent water loss in terrestrial environment. A. what type (or form) of Keratinized epidermal structure represents the ancestral character state of all reptiles, birds, and mammals?

Morphology - Comparative Anatomy More evidence for evolution is offered by comparing the anatomy, or body parts, of different organisms. Many animals have body parts that are similar in both structure and function called homologous structures. The forelimbs of animals like humans, whales, birds, and other creatures are strikingly similar even though the forelimbs are used for different purposes such as lifting objects, swimming, or flying. The different changes in the forelimbs are adaptations to the needs of the organisms. Darwin also observed that animals have structures that they do not use, which are called vestigial organs. These are structures that an organism has that do not have a function, though they may have had one in the past. In humans they include the appendix, the fused tail vertebrae, and Humerus wisdom teeth. Perhaps an environmental change made the organ unnecessary for survival, and the organ gradually becomes Radius Ulna Carpals nonfunctional. For instance, the…
Choose all that apply Segmentation Can be fused into specialized functional regions Is seen in insects, worms, and their relatives Is important in the evolution of increasing organismal disparity Is seen in the Cnidaria (jellyfish and friends) Is seen in vertebrates (animals with backbones, like you)
For the following question, first, explain if it is true or false. If false correct the underlined word to make it true. If you do not correct it then you will lose all points. Sea Lamprey has gills that are little holes while most fish have gills that are slights that filter the water, this is an example of a(n) analogous structure. O True O False: Homologous O False: Vestigial organ O False: coevolution
