Question

Homologous organs are :

• A. Leg of man, leg of horse, wing of bat.
• B. Hand of man, tail of horse, wing of bat.
• C. Hand of man, forelimb of horse, wing of bat.
• D. Hand of man, leg of horse, wing of bat.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Hand of man, forelimb of horse, wing of bat.

Homologous organs are those that have similar structures and share common ancestors but have different functions e.g., the wings of a bat for flight, the lateral fin of a whale for swimming, and the human arm to hold or lift any object. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
