Define with examplei) Homologous organ |
|
Answer» Ahomologous organis an organ, system, or body part that shares a common ancestry in multiple organisms. This definition is found in evolutionary biology and uses the meaning of having a similar structure or origin. Common examples of homologous structures are the bones in the forelimbs of various vertebrates, such as humans, dogs, birds and whales. Even though the functions of these limbs are different (a human hand is for grasping, a dog's foot is for walking, a bird's wing is for flying, and a whale's flipper is for swimming), they all have similar bone structures.
