Question

How do homologous organs represent divergent evolution. Explain with the help of an example?

Answer 1

Organs with similar strucuture, same ancestry, anatomically same and same origin developed along different directions due to adapation and different needs , to perform different functions

For example the fore limbs of some animals (Vertebrates) like whales , bats , cheetah and human have similar anatomical strucuture (i.e. humerus , radius , ulna, carpals,metacarpals and phalanges) develop differently to meet different needs and to perform different functions (any other correct example)
