Analogous organs are the opposite of homologous organs, which have similar functions but different origins. An example of an analogous trait would be the wings of insects, bats and birds that evolved independently in each lineage separately after diverging from an ancestor without wings.

Analogous Organs
Analogous organs are defined as the organs of different animals that are having different structure but perform the same functions.
Example
- Example of analogous organ is the wings of the insect and the wings of the bird.
- The structure of wings of the bird has bones covered by flesh, skin, and feathers. Whereas the wings of insect is an extension of integument. But in both the cases, the wings are used for flying.
- These organisms would have to adapt to the same ecological niche as other organisms. Hence, they may have evolved similar (analogous) organs.
