Homeotypic

Example: Analogous traits are similar in function but not in evolutionary origin, such as the wings of a bird and the forelimbs of a whale.

Definition:Becoming similar in form or function but not due to a common evolutionary origin.

Example:Parallel evolution can lead to heteroplastic traits among closely related species.

Definition:Having a similar form or structure due to parallel evolution but originating from different ancestral forms.

Example:Orthologous genes have a common ancestral origin and perform similar functions in different species.

Definition:Evolved from a common ancestral gene; found in a different organism.
