Answer 1

The organs that have the same basic structure and developmental origin but may differ in function are called homologous organs.

Explanation:

Homologous organs share a basic structural plan and developmental origin, though adaptation may give them different functions. Analogous organs share a function but differ in origin and structure; vestigial organs are reduced remnants.
