What is the difference between homology and analogy?
Some traits common between 2 individuals are inherited by a common ancestor, while others share traits through convergent evolution, a process where two or more different populations evolve a similar feature/characteristic separately from one another.
Homology:
Traits, characteristics, or features inherited by a common ancestor.
Examples:
~ Twins
~ Tetrapod limbs in humans, birds, whales, and lizards.

Analogy: Similarity caused by convergent evolution, not by inheritance or common ancestry. Similarities between two distinct organisms caused by environmental changes.
Examples:~
Barnicles and Limpets (***Remember: Just because 2 organisms appear similar on the outside, does not mean that they are similar on the inside...)~two elvis impersonators.

Marsupials Vs. Placentals
Marsupials: A mammal, such as a kangaroo, who cares for and protects their children within a maternal pouch.
Placentals: A mammal, including a human and elephant, whose young completes its embryonic development inside of the uterus. The embryo within the uterus is connected to the mother through a placenta.
