1. What do you notice about these structures?

They have similar bones. Do all of these organisms have the same bones? No, just similar. Do all of these structures have the same function? No. what is the same with these organisms? They have the same ancestor.

2. What do you notice about these structures?

3. Analogous or homologous structures
Homologous or Analogous Structures
Homo- same
Logous- position
Organisms have the SAME ancestor and structure but different functions.
Table talk:
Why do you think this occurs?
Do they share DNA? Yes, that is why they have similar bones.

4. Homologous Structures
Evidence for Evolution: Show that two species evolved from a common ancestor and have similar evolutionary origins.
But….
Adapt to live in different environments

5. What do these organisms have in common?
These organisms all have large ears. Why? They all live in a similar environment which is hot and the ears disspate heat.
