Open in App
Solution
Analogy:
Analogy refers to the study of analogous organs.
Analogous organs are organs that have similar functions but have varying anatomical structures.
An example of analogous organs are the
pectoral fins of shark and the flippers of dolphin.
Both the organs have a common function of swimming but are structurally different, hence are analogous organs.
