Question

Organs which are structurally different but functionally similar are called ______ organs.

• A. analogous
• B. homologous
• C. functional
• D. vestigeal

Answer 1

The correct option is A analogous

$\bullet$ Organs which have different origin, but perform similar function are called analogous organs.
E.g., Wings of bird and bat
$\bullet$ The wings of both bird and bat perform a common function (flying). The wings of a bird have feathery covering all over the arm, while wings of a bat are modified skin folds, streched between elongated fingers. This structural difference in their wings shows that they have different origin.
