Examples - Human, Cat, Whale, Bat Anatomical Structures look similar Can be used to infer evolutionary relationships among organisms. Because the structures are similar with the Human, Cat, Horse, Bat and Whale, it is easy to infer that they all come from a common ancestor. Anatomically different, yet have a similar function. Example - A wing of a bird and a wing of a dragonfly. You can clearly see that they are structurally very different, however they are both used for flying. Example - A leg of a horse, and the leg of a grasshopper. Although the legs are structurally different, they carry out a similar function. They are not associated with common ancestors like homologous structures are. Features or traits that are no longer essential for life. A structure left over from evolution. Was used by ancestors but useless now. Example - Tailbone in humans Example - Pelvic bones and remnants of hind limbs in whales

Homologous

Analogous

Vestigial

Similar structures, Shared ancestry

Can have same but also can have different functions.

Examples - Human, Cat, Whale, Bat

Anatomical Structures look similar

Can be used to infer evolutionary relationships among organisms.

Because the structures are similar with the Human, Cat, Horse, Bat and Whale, it is easy to infer that they all come from a common ancestor.

Anatomically different, yet have a similar function.

Example - A wing of a bird and a wing of a dragonfly.

You can clearly see that they are structurally very different, however they are both used for flying.

Example - A leg of a horse, and the leg of a grasshopper.

Although the legs are structurally different, they carry out a similar function.

They are not associated with common ancestors like homologous structures are.

Features or traits that are no longer essential for life.

A structure left over from evolution.

Was used by ancestors but useless now.

Example - Tailbone in humans
