Answer 1

here there is a pictorial answer

Answer 2

Relation of homologous and analogous structures in real life situation.

EXPLANATION:

• Comparative anatomy is defined as the differences and similarities within the anatomy of a species.  
• Analogous structures are similar structures in different organisms.  
• These structures are just opposite to the homologous structures.  
• They appear similar and perform same features.
• For example, wings of insects and wings of birds.
• Both wings perform same features as they are used for flight.  
• But they are not similar in shape.  
• The wings of birds are similar to the human palm structure.
• Analogous structure emerges from the convergent evolution.
• Homologous structures are comparable in organisms which have the same ancestors.
• However the capabilities performed may or may not be equal.
• For example, whales, birds and humans all possess the same arm bone structure.
