Question

Analogous organs

Explain briefly with examples about:

Analogous organs

Answer 1

Organs which have different basic structure but the similar appearance and perform similar functions are called analogous organs.

Example: The wings of an insect and a bird have different structures, but they perform the same function of flying. Because the wings of insects and birds have different structures but perform similar functions, they are analogous organs.
