11. ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES



ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES: Fish Fin and Dolphin Flipper
The fins of fish and flippers of dolphins (mammal) are analogous structures. Although fins and flippers serve the same purpose they do not share a common ancestor. The picture of the goldfish was taken at Pet Extreme and the picture of the dolphin was taken at 6 Flags a few years ago.
