Answer:

There are some organs that are fundamentally same in structure and origin, but are modified to perform different functions in different organisms. They are called homologous organs. E.g. forelimbs of man are adapted for handling, while forelimbs of bat and bird are adapted for flying and those of whales and seals are adapted for swimming.

Different organisms have organs which perform similar function. These organs which have similar function, but are different in structure and origin are called analogous organs. E.g. tail fin of a lobster and flukes of a whale, wings of a fly and wings of a bird and eyes of arthropods and eyes of vertebrates are all analogous organs.

Bat wings and bird wings are analogous as flight structures. Their structure and function have evolved by different routes from a flightless reptilian ancestor.
