Question
Work in a small group or alone to complete this exercise.
In this lab, we discussed homologous traits. In addition to specific traits that
reflect common ancestry, there are also general traits (such as the basic
organization and layout of body parts) that reflect shared ancestry. These
general similarities due to common ancestry are called homologous
structures. In this exercise, you will examine homologous structures in the
limbs of several different animals.
1. Examine the limb specimens provided by your instructor (or the
images in the Lab 9 Exercise Image Library on p.276) and complete
the chart below.
。 For bone length, indicate whether you think the animal's limb
bones are relatively long, short, or intermediate for its overall
body size. Use the drawings of the complete animals and shading
of the bone elements as a guide. (For example, a kangaroo would
be described as having long legs for its body.)
For bone robusticity, indicate whether you think the animal's
bones are robust (heavy and dense), gracile (lightweight and
slender), or intermediate.

2. What do you notice is generally similar across all the specimens?
3. What do you notice is generally different across the specimens?
4. How do these similarities and differences relate to the evolutionary
relationships between these species?
5. What similarities and differences in adaptation (for example, different
locomotor needs or different weight-bearing needs) may also relate to
the similarities and differences you see across these specimens?
