Tracing Evolutionary Relationships
Tracing Evolutionary Relationships
Tracing Evolutionary Relationships: In order to find out the evolutionary relationships among organisms, their common features have to be looked upon. These common features in different organisms point out towards common ancestry. Evidences have been provided by various fields as given below.
Homologous Organs:
According to Darwin, more closely related species have evolved from a common ancestor. The characteristics and fundamentally similar structures suggest the possibility of a common ancestor, e.g. the forelimbs of vertebrates. Such phenomenon of similarity of structure due to common ancestry is known as homology.
Characteristics of homologous organs are given below:
1. Similar in basic structure and have the same developmental origin.
2. Have different functions in different organisms.
3. Their similarity is due to common ancestry.
e.g. the forelimbs of vertebrates (lizard, man, frog and bird) have a similar structure, but perform different functions.
Analogous Organs:
The organs, which have different origin and basic structure (plan), but show similar appearance and perform similar functions too, e.g. wings of birds and wings of bat.
Characteristics of analogous organs areas listed below:
1. Differ in basic structure.
2. Resemble each other in functions.
3. Their similarity is a superficial resemblance.

Which of the following are correct ? (a) Forelimbs of vertebrates (lizard, man, frog and bird) have a similar structure, but perform different functions are the example of homologous organs. (b) The organs which have different origin and basic structure (plan), but show similar appearance and perform similar functions are called analogous organs (c) The organs that have been reduced or diminished in size during evolution are known as vestigial organs. | |||

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying

10thIt has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
Barkha Arora
10thAbhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.

8thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.

7thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
Om Umang
10thOne of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.

10thMy experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
Ayan Ghosh
8thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
