Comparative Anatomy—Evidence for Evolution
ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES:
1. Compare/contrast the anatomy of the shark fin, penguin wing, and dolphin flipper:
2. Compare/contrast the function of the shark fin, penguin wing, and dolphin flipper:
3. Based on this information, what do you think an “analogous structure” is?
HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES:
4. Compare/contrast the anatomy of the human arm, cat leg, whale flipper, and bat wing:
5. Compare/contrast the function of the human arm, cat leg, whale flipper, and bat wing:
6. Based on this information, what do you think a “homologous structure” is?
7. How do analogous and/or homologous structures provide evidence for the theory of evolution?
