Question

Difference between homologous species and analogous species?​

Answer 1

Homologous Species are those species which have same origin or structure but their organs or body parts are used for different functions.

They show convergent evolution

Example: Hind limbs of frog and hands of human beings are likely similar but used for different function.

Analogous Species are those species which have different structures/origin but perform same functions.

They show divergent evolution

Example: Wings of a bat & Wings of a butterfly
