do birds and insects share any structural similartiies that would suggest they are closely related?

Asked by reyesjeann4017

Answer (1)

Birds and insects do not share structural similarities that suggest they are closely related.Birds are vertebrates (animals with backbones) and have a skeleton inside their body.Insects are invertebrates (no backbone) and have an exoskeleton (a hard outer shell).While both have wings and can fly, their wings are structurally very different—bird wings have bones and feathers, while insect wings are made of thin membranes supported by veins.So, their similar ability to fly is an example of convergent evolution (different species evolving similar traits independently), not close relation.
