I know that this sounds insanely trivial but (being a professional chef and all) I especially pride myself about the quality of my hashed brown potatoes. As in, most people swoon over their toasted crust and classic flavor. Please know that Iâm half Danish â¦ so Iâve never met a potato that I didnât like. (Be it known that the above image is a bare approximation of what I can produce.)
The more closely the organisms are related, the more similar the homologous structures between organisms. Most examples of homologous structures revolve around the limbs of the species being compared. The bone structure within those limbs are similar between closely related species. Examples of Homologous Structures. Many mammals have similar limb structures. The flipper of a whale, the wing of a bat, and the leg of a cat are all very similar to the human arm.
We use homologous characters  characters in different organisms that are similar because they were inherited from a common ancestor that also had that character. An example of homologous characters is the four limbs of tetrapods. Birds, bats, mice, and crocodiles all have four limbs. Sharks and bony fish do not. The ancestor of tetrapods evolved four limbs, and its descendents have inherited that feature  so the presence of four limbs is a homology. Not all characters are homologies. For example, birds and bats both have wings, while mice and crocodiles do not.
