Analogous organs

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Analogous organs are those that perform similar functions but have different evolutionary origins and anatomical structures.Insects and birds both use wings for flight,which is a similar function.However,the structure of an insect wing (a thin membrane) is fundamentally different from the structure of a bird wing (a modified forelimb with bones and feathers).Therefore,these are examples of convergent evolution,representing analogous organs.
