Answer:
The forelimbs and hind limbs of frog and human have similar anatomical structures but they perform the different function. The forelimbs of humans have evolved to perform diverse activities while forelimbs of frog help in sitting and moving. The hindlimbs of humans are capable of walking, running, jumping etc. while the hindlimbs of frogs are muscular and allow jumping and swimming. Such organs that are similar in structure in two different species but are performing unrelated functions are called homologous organs.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Homologous organs'

Answer:
They are an example of homologous organs.
Explanation:
- Evolution is the process by which an organism undergoes changes as a result of the environment, natural selection, and other elements.
- Analogous is the study of organs with comparable functions, while homologous is the study of structures with similar embryonic origins.
- Although the forelimbs and hindlimbs of frogs and humans are anatomically identical, they serve different purposes.
- While frog forelimbs assist them move and sit, human forelimbs have evolved to help with a variety of functions.
- Human forelimbs enable movement while walking, running, and jumping. While the frogs' powerful hindlimbs enable them to swim and jump.
- As a result, homologous organs are defined as structures that are identical in structure between two animals yet have different purposes.
