Which of these are examples of homologies? one, the pharyngeal arches in all vertebrates embryos, that develop into kill -supports and fish and throat structures in mammals.
00:12
The ability to fly with elongated wings developed independently.
00:17
The skin flaps for gliding, but evolved separately in sugar gliders and flying squirrels.
00:22
The pack six gene in vertebrates and the eyeless gene in flies have similar sequences and similar function.
00:29
Or the bones that support the wings of birds, terosaurs and bats that are arranged in the same order.
00:36
So there are homologous and there are analogous structures.
00:40
Homologous means that they are similar because they are derived from a common ancestor that also have that trait.
00:50
Analogous means that they are similar because of convergent evolution.
00:58
So different organisms with different evolutionary pressures develop similar strategies of dealing with them.
01:06
For example, if we go through these, so one, the pharyngeal arches found in all vertebral embryos, these are homologous...
