Bones are tissues that provide the body with rigidity. It also acts as the body's supporting structure.
The bone helps to maintain the body's shape at all times and provide a surface for the attachment of muscles. Joints are the points of contact between two bones. The bones, muscles and joints are very important in the locomotion(movement) process because there’s a synergy between them.
Vertebrate locomotion results from the contraction of muscles anchored to bone tissue.
Explanation:
Vertebrates are the organism which contains spinal cord or backbone in their body. Locomotion is the ability of vertebrates due to which they can move from one place to another. The body of vertebrates comprise of bones which gives proper shape, support and helps in the movement from place to place. Bone is a type of hard tissue which is composed of calcium. In the body of vertebrates bones are moved with the help of muscles which are attached to it.
This character trait is known as homoplasy. the definition of homoplasy that two or more species share a character, but they did not descend from a common ancestor.
This trait is known as convergent evolution, or convergence.
