Question

Homologous organs have

• A. Similar morphology
• B. Similar anatomy
• C. Different anatomy
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Similar morphology

• Homologous organs are the organs which have a similar structure (similar morphology) and different function and have the same developmental origin.
• Both the thorns of bougainvillea and tendrils of cucurbita origin from the stem and are modified from the auxiliary buds but their functions are different. Hence they are homologous organs.
• Hence homologous organs have similar morphology.
• So, the correct answer is 'Morphology'.
