Why do reproductive organs of flowers resemble those of animals (e.g. look at and orchid vs. clitoris)?

Question

It almost seems as if this resemblance is evidence for a creator to me. Animals didn't evolve from plants, right? So why the morphological similarities?

Answer 1

coincidence...

Though I have to ask...do you know what a clitoris looks like?

Answer 2

a) Coincidence

b) You have a really active imagination if you think they look alike

Answer 3

called coevolution

its when two organism have similar characteristics but they dont come from the same ancestor..let state another example...tuna sharks and dolphins...all live under water and have similar body shapes...but they come from totally different ancentry...get the picture..? hoped it helped

Answer 4

Pattern matching and recognition is pretty cool huh?

Unfortunately, these structures evolved separately, and I do not even begin to see a basis for the comparison of them; however, I envy you, in that your biology classes must be MUCH more exciting than they were for me.
