Repaso Chapter 10.4 Flashcards
are features that are similar in structure but appear in different organisms and have different functions.
Homologous structures
the study of the distribution of organisms around
the world.
biogeography
are structures that perform a similar function—in this case, flight—but are
not similar in origin. Bat wings have bones.
Analogous structures
are remnants of organs or structures that had a function in an early ancestor.
Vestigial structures
provide evidence of evolution in rocks
Fossils
provides evidence of evolutions
The study of geography
can variation from one island to another
Population
provides evidence of evolution
Embryology
structure s are similar in structure but different in function
Homologous
structures are not evidence of a common ancestor
Analogous
An example of an vestigial structure
