Although the forelimbs of some vertebrates are anatomically similar, they look morphologically different. Give reasons.

The forelimbs of two vertebrates share the same anatomical structure but different functions, it is due to they share a common ancestral character but differ in function due to divergent evolution.

Here Forelimbs of vertebrates are the example of homologous organs.

<h3>What do you mean by homologous and analogous organ structure ?</h3>

Homologous refers to anatomically similar structures with having a common ancestor.

They are developmentally related, they do not share the same function.

some example like Limbs of Human, Bat, and Mouse are similar but, the function are completely different.

Just opposite to homologous, Analogous structures that perform the same functions but have different structure and ancestors

Identical and obviously duplicated gene sequences have gotten from one chromosome to another by chromosomal translocation.

In terms of genetics, a translocation takes place when chromosome fragments and the (often two) fragmented portions reassociate with other chromosomes. For the diagnosis of several genetic diseases and syndromes, the finding of chromosomal translocations can be crucial.

Multigene families are groups of related or identical genes that have developed by gene duplication. It is thought that a single ancestral gene was duplicated and varied to create multigene families. The multigene families that code for actins, hemoglobins, immunoglobulins, tubulins, interferons, histones, etc. are a few examples.
