    Homology vs. Analogy Worksheet

    The document compares homologous and analogous structures across different organisms. Homologous structures are inherited from a common ancestor, while analogous structures evolved independently but serve similar functions. Examples given include: - Bat and butterfly wings are analogous as they are not closely related but allow flight. - Human, chimp and gorilla hands are homologous as they share a common primate ancestor. - Shark and penguin flippers are analogous as they evolved independently in unrelated groups. The second document identifies species descended from a common ancestor, determining if shared traits are homologous based on shared ancestry or analogous if arising separately.

    The passage discusses homologous vs analogous structures and provides examples to distinguish between the two.

    Homologous structures evolved from a common ancestor, whereas analogous structures evolved independently in organisms that are not closely related to perform similar functions.

    If the organisms are closely related, the structures are likely homologous as they evolved from a common ancestor. If the organisms are not closely related, the structures are likely analogous as they evolved independently to perform similar functions.

    Homology vs. Analogy Worksheet - KEY
    1.The wings of a bat and the wings of a butterfly are similar in that they both allow the
    organisms to fly. Are bats and butterflies closely related? No – Bats are mammals,
    butterflies are insects

    Are the wings on these two organisms Homologous or Analogous Structures? Analogous
    since the animals are not closely related, so the wings likely developed independent from
    each other rather than from a common ancestor.

    2. A duck and a platypus are similar in that they both lay eggs. Are ducks and
    platypuses closely related? No, one is a bird and one is a mammal

    Is egg laying in these two organisms an example of a Homologous or Analogous


    trait? Analogous structures since the animals are not closely related, so the egg
    laying capability likely developed independently rather than from a common
    ancestor.

    3. Humans, Chimpanzees, and Gorillas all have similar hand structures. Are
    humans, chimps, and gorillas closely related? Yes, both are mammals

    Are the hands in these organisms examples of Homologous or Analogous


    structures? Homologous since the organisms are closely related so the hands
    likely came from a common ancestor.

    4. Pigs and deer have similar ankle bones. Are pigs and deer closely related? Yes, both are
    mammals

    Are the ankle bones of these organisms examples of Homologous or Analogous structures?
    Homologous since the organisms are closely related so the shape of the ankle bones likely
    came from a common ancestor.

    5. A shark and a penguin are similar in that they both have flippers to propel them through
    the water. Are sharks and penguins closely related? No, one is a bird and one is a fish

    Are flippers in these two organisms an example of Homologous or Analogous structures?


    Analogous structures since the animals are not closely related, so the flippers likely
    developed independently rather than from a common ancestor.

    6. Dogs and cats have similar paws. Are dogs and cats closely related? Yes, both are
    mammals.

    Are the paws of these two organisms an example of Homologous or Analogous


    structures? Homologous since the organisms are closely related so the shape of the paws
    likely came from a common ancestor.

    7. Monarch and Blue Morpho Butterflies have similar wings. Are monarchs and
    morphos closely related? Yes, both are insects.

    Are the wings of these two organisms an example of Homologous or Analogous


    structures? Homologous since the organisms are closely related
