Chapter 47, Problem 9TYU

EVOLUTION CONNECTION Evolution in insects and vertebrates has involved the repeated duplication of body segments, followed by fusion of some segments and specialization of their structure and function. In vertebrates, what anatomical features reflect segmentation?

According to Richard Owen, the forelimbs of an adult human (with hands, adapted for grasping fruit from a tree), and the forelimbs of an adult bat (with wings, adapted for flight), are both derived from the same mammalian embryological structures, so they must represent: homologous structures, with similar embryonic anatomy, but different functions analogous structures, with different functions, and different embryonic anatomy analogous structures, with similar functions, but different embryonic anatomy analogous structures, with different embryonic anatomy, and different functions homologous structures, with different embryonic anatomy, but similar functions

What conclusion can be drawn from embryological development? Insect and bird wings are similar in function but not in structure. Paleontologists have used fossils to trace the evolution of the modern camel. Many organisms have structures with no apparent function found during embryo development. The presence of gill slits and tails in early vertebrate embryos shows that they may share a common ancestor.
