Abald eagle and a black bear both have four limbs with digits because they are both tetrapods, descendants of a four-limbed ancestor. in this comparison, the limbs of the eagle and the bear are what type of structure?

The bald eagle and the black bear are tetrapods, which means that they both have four limbs along with the digits. This shows that they both are the descendants of the four-limbed ancestors. However, the limbs of the bear and the bald eagle have different functions. The forelimbs of both these organisms serves different purpose. Hence, their limbs are homologous organs. The homologous organs are those which have the same ancestry but the functions are different.

small, big, or no change could occur in the phenotype. it could cause something as simple as a cats ears to curl backwards or something as frighting as death. it could also occur in the protien-coding area and have an effect on that but no effect on the amino acids. what has to occur is a changing in the hox gene or the control gene.
