Homologous Structures




A good example of a homologous structure is the tail bone in humans and in dogs. It is a good example because the tailbone in humans is very structurally similar to that of the tailbone in dogs, the only difference is that our tailbone has become a vestigial structure. Dogs still have their tail making their tailbone a needed structure.
