उत्तर
The given diagrams depict anatomical similarities between the human hand, foreleg of the ox, forelimb of the bat, and flipper of the whale.
- Anatomical evidence are the similarities in structures and anatomy between different organisms.
- The hand of human, foreleg of ox, flipper of the whale, and forelimb of bat appear different superficially or morphologically.
- Also, the function of these structures is different in different animals.
- However, there is a similarity in the structure of bones and bony joints in the organs of these animals.
- These similarities indicate that the animals evolved from a common ancestor thus providing proof of evolution.

What are homologous organs?
Some dinosaurs had feathers although they could not fly birds have feathers that help them to fly. In the context of evolution, this means that ______
There are five animals A, B, C, D and E. The animal A uses its modified forelimbs for flying. The animal B uses its forelimbs for running whereas the animal C uses its forelimbs for grasping. The animal D can live on land as well as in water and uses its forelimbs to prop up the front end of its body when at rest. The animal E which respires by using spiracles and tracheae uses wings for flying but its wings are analogous to the modified forelimbs of animal A.
(a) What could the animals A, B, C, D and E be?
(b) Why are the forelimbs of animals A, B, C, D called homologous organs?
