Question

Options

• human hand and beak of a bird

• vermiform appendix of man and caecum of herbivores

Answer 1

Wing of a bat and wing of an insect

Both wings enable flight but differ in basic structure and origin, making them analogous. A bat’s wing and a human hand share the forelimb structural plan, while the appendix and herbivore caecum are related structures.
