Pg.43 Comparative Anatomy
1. How could radioactive dating help analyze a fossil?
A) Determining the fossil’s age.
B) Determining whether the fossil was animal or a plant.
C) Determining the mass of the fossil.
D) Determining the size of the fossil.
2. The odd beetle lives in Asia and North America. It normally
feeds on animal fur and hair. During the winter time, animals
fur are long and plentiful, but during the summer, animals lose
their fur coat. How would the odd beetle population be
effected, if global warming continues to rise the earth’s
average temperature?

Key Point #1: Anatomy Definition: The study of structures
Today, we will compare anatomy of various
organisms and look at how organisms have evolved
over time to better adapt to their environment.
Comparative Anatomy
There are 3 types of structures we will
look at today.
Homologous
Analogous
Vestigial
Be ready to take some notes!
What do you notice about these
structures?
Common Ancestor
What do you notice about these
structures?
Key Point #2:
Key Point #2: Homologous
Homo- same
Logous- position
Organisms have the SAME ancestor and structure but
different functions.
Why?
Different environments
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
What do these organisms have in
common?
What do these organisms have in
common?
Key Point #3
Key Point #3: Analogous
Ana- different
Logous- position
Organisms have DIFFERENT structures and ancestors but
used for similar functions
Why?
Similar environments!
Analogous Structures
Evidence for Evolution: Show that
when organisms live in similar
environments, they will adapt in
similar ways to survive.
But…..
They have different ancestors
What is the purpose of wisdom teeth?
Why do whales
have hip bones if
they don’t have
legs?
Key Point #4
Key Point #4: Vestigial
Vestige: small, remaining part
Body part that is no longer used.
Why?
Environment no longer needs it
Vestigial Structures
Evidence for Evolution: Show that a
species has changed over time
(they once needed the structure and
now they do not!).
Practic
e Time!
Is the body shape, homologous, analogous, or
vestigial?
Analogous:
similar
function
Homologous, analogous, or vestigial?
Analogous: similar functions
Letter “c” = hind legs of a baleen whale skeleton
Vestigial: no longer used!!!
Alligators and bats have the same bone structure in
their forelimbs (front legs for alligators, wings for
bats).
HOMOLOGOUS:
similar bone
structure
Humans have wisdom teeth (third molars), even
though they are not needed to chew up food.
VESTIGIAL
Birds and insects both have wings to fly the sky
ANALOGOUS
Snakes don’t have legs, but they do have small hip and leg
bones.
VESTIGIAL

common ancestor.
3. Is seen in multiple organisms because they live in
similar environments.

apart.
