Question

What is the difference between Homologous organs and Analogous organs?

Answer 1

Homologous organs belong to species of the same evolutionary origin but the organ serves a different function, like the arm of a man and seals flipper. Both mammals with a limb similar in construction, bones, joints tendon s etc. but has a completely different use.

Analogous organs are those from species with different evolutionary origins but serve a similar purpose ie the wing of a bee and the wing of a bird. Totally different species but same organ used to fly.
