Question

Wings of butterfly and Wings of bat be considered homologous organs why/ why not​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Homologous organs are the organs which have different origin and structure but same function.

Here, both butterfly and bat use their wings for the same function that is to fly though they have different origin and structure as the wings of butterfly are made of chitin and the wings of bat are the folds of skin. Thus, wings of butterfly and bat are considered homologous organs.

Answer 2

Homologous organs perform completely different functions and have different look however share common basic structural structure. The origin wings of a butterfly are composed of polysaccharide membrane, whereas wings of a bat are composed of bony skeleton. Hence, these aren’t homologous organs rather analogous organs.
