Answer:
The forelimb of a whale, bat, human, and cheetah are homologous. Divergent evolution is the evolution of organisms from a common ancestor. The presence of homologous organs in these organisms indicates that they have a common ancestor.
Explanation:
Homologous structures are similar physical features in organisms that share a common ancestor, but the features serve completely different functions. An example of homologous structures are the limbs of humans, cats, whales, and bats.

Answer:
Homologous Organs:Swimmer of whale, wings of bats, leg of cheetah, claw of mole, hand of man
Analogous Organs: wings of butterfly, wings of birds
Explanation:
Homologous organs
- Homologous organs are those that appear anatomically the same but serve different functions.
- The mouth parts of a cockroach, a honeybee, and a butterfly are homologous organs.
Analogous organs
- Analogous organs are those that have different anatomy but perform similar functions and they differ in origin.
