Solution
Analogous organs are those which are functionally similar.
Explanation:
Analogous organs are those that perform the same or similar functions but do not share a common structural origin. They have a superficial resemblance due to similar environmental pressures and convergent evolution but differ in their anatomy and embryonic development. For example, the fins of fish and flippers of aquatic mammals serve similar functions but have different structural origins, so they are analogous organs.
