Analogous Structures



Analogous Structures: A trait, appendage, or ability that is shared by two or more species that do not share a common ancestor, such as the ability lay eggs is shared by the unrelated Platypus and the Bald Eagle.

My example is that although both the moth and bird displayed both possess wings, the two species are unrelated.
