Ans.
Homologous Structures have similar morphology, embryology and anatomy etc. but are dissimilar in their functions. ... Analogousstructures are those structures in differentspecies which perform the same function, have similar appearance and structure but are not evolved together; therefore do not share a common ancestor.
Explain the terms analogous and homologous organs with examples. Homologous organsare those organs which have the same basic structural design and origin but have different functions. For example: The forelimbs of humans and the wings of birds look different externally but their skeletal structure is similar.
Analogous organs are the opposite ofhomologous organs, which have similar functions but different origins. An example of an analogous trait would be the wings of insects, bats and birds that evolved independently in each lineage separately after diverging from an ancestor without wings.
