Question

Explain the terms analogous and homologous
organs with examples.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Analogous Organs: Analogous organs are the organs of different animals which have different basic structure but perform same function.

For example: the wing of a bird and the wing of a butterfly have different structures but they perform similar function so they are analogous organs.

Homologous Organs: Homologous organs may be defined as the organs of different animals which have similar basic structure but different functions.

For example: the flippers of a whale, the forelimbs of a frog and man have the same basic structures but they perform different functions, hence these are called homologous organs.
