Answer 1

Homologuas organs are the organs which perform different function in different organisms but have common origin or ancestry while as the anologuas organs are the organs that share common functions but do not have the common origin or ancestry .The wings of a butterfly and the wings of a bat are analogous organs as they look similar and perform common functions ,but they do not arise from a common origin or ancestry....

Answer 2

: Required Answer

$\implies$ wing are butterfly and the wing of a bat cannot be considered homologous organs as they do not share a common ancestor. Even though both structures aid in flying, they have evolved separately. To prove this, the wings of a butterfly are composed of two chitinous membranes, whereas wings of a bat are composed of bony skeleton, complete with blood vessels. Hence, these aren’t homologous organs but rather analogous organs.
