Question

Do analogous structures show an evolutionary relationship between two species (meaning do they show that individuals with analogous structures come from a common ancestor). Example: Flies and birds have wings. Do wings show that a fly is related to a bird?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - NO.

Explanation:

To be specific to the question, the answer would be no as analogous structures do not show that two distinct come from a common ancestor. However, it shows the evolutionary relationship by stating that the species have different evolutionary origins and developmental patterns as they developed the organs with similar function and appearance but anatomically and embryological development is different.

The answer to the question "Do wings show that a fly is related to a bird?", is no it does not show the relation between fly and bird.
