Question

Distingy between homologous and analogous organs. In which category would you place wings of a bird and wings of a bat

Answer 1

Homologous structures share a similar embryonic origin; analogous organs have a similar function. For example, the bones in the front flipper of a whale are homologous to the bones in the human arm. These structures are not analogous. The wings of a butterfly and the wings of a bird are analogous but not homologous.
