Answer:

Homology In the Animal Kingdom

Following are some examples of homology: The arm of a human, the wing of a bird or a bat, the leg of a dog and the flipper of a dolphin or whale are homologous structures. They are different and have a different purpose, but they are similar and share common traits.

Explanation:

Homologous structures are organs or skeletal elements of animals and organisms that, by virtue of their similarity, suggest their connection to a common ancestor. These structures do not have to look exactly the same, or have the same function.

Examples of homologous organs.

1. The wings of bird and bat, flipper (fin) of whale, structure of human forearm have common ancestory but perform different function.

2. In plants, the homologous organs may be a thorn of Bougainvillea or a tendril of cucurbita both arising in axillary position are examples of homologous organs.
