Question

What do analogous organs indicate?

• A. Evolution does not exist
• B. Different organs evolved to do the same function
• C. Similar organs evolved to do different functions
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B Different organs evolved to do the same function

Analogous organs have evolved to do the same function. Wing of a bat have been modified from its limbs and the wings of a butterfly have been modified from its cuticle. This modification over the time helps both the organisms to fly. Thus, analogous organs indicate that they have evolved from different origins but have started performing a common function.
