Solution
Homologous organs are those that share a common embryogenic origin and development, function differently, and have comparable interactions with neighboring organs. For example, tendrils of Passiflora and thorns of Bougainvillea are homologous since they both emerge at axillary positions and are hence variations of the branch.
