Question

The forelimbs of lizards and frogs share a common bony structure and embryonic origin. Although insects and birds both use wings to fly, the wings in each species are structurally different and do not share a common embryonic origin. A teacher asked four of her students to identify structures based on the information above. The students' answers are shown in the table below. Forelimbs of lizards and frogs Wings of insects and birds Student 1 analogous analogous Student 2 homologous analogous Student 3 analogous homologous Student 4 homologous homologous Which student correctly identified the structures? A. student 2 B. student 4 C. student 3 D. student 1

Answer 1

Answer:

Option A is correct as Student 2 has guessed the right answer

Homologous Organs stand for similar structure but different function (Lizard & Frog have experienced a Homologous Evolution, so their joints are homologous to each other)

Analogous Organs are those who have different structure but execute same function (Insects & Birds both have wings to fly but Birds have a different analogy & insects have a different analogy)
