Homologous characteristics: A homologous trait is any characteristic which is derived by evolution from a common ancestor. This is contrasted to analogous traits: similarities between organisms that were evolved separately. The term existed before 1859, but got its modern meaning after Darwin established the idea of common descent.

Analogous characteristics: Analogy, in biology, similarity of function and superficial resemblance of structures that have different origins. For example, the wings of a fly, a moth, and a bird are analogous because they developed independently as adaptations to a common function—flyinG.
