Answer 2

Answer:

Homologous : having the same or a similar relation; corresponding, as in relative position or structure. corresponding in structure and in origin, but not necessarily in function: The wing of a bird and the foreleg of a horse are homologous. having the same alleles or genes in the same order of arrangement: homologous chromosomes.

Analogous : Use the adjective analogous to describe something that is similar to something else and can be compared to another. Analogous things can be compared to each other, so a near synonym is the adjective comparable. ... Analogous is from Latin analogus, from Greek analogos, meaning "according to a proper ratio or proportion."
