Can the wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bat be considered homologous organs? Why or why not?
Homologous organs perform completely different functions and have different look however share common basic structural structure. The origin wings of a butterfly are composed of polysaccharide membrane, whereas wings of a bat are composed of bony skeleton. Hence, these aren’t homologous organs rather analogous organs

Answer:
No, wing of bat and wings of butterfly should not be considered as homologous organs because they have different structure and origin but have the same function of flying so they are analogous organs...
