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.
The organs, which have different origin and basic structure but show similar appearance and perform similar functions too is called ________________ . | |||

Students / Parents Reviews [10]
My 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.

8thOne 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.
Aman Kumar Shrivastava
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.
Manish Kumar
10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

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.

10thMy 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
