Solution

Dear Student,

Significance of homologous :
The presence of homologous organs proved that all these organisms have derived from common ancestors which evolved to form complex organisms.

Significance of analogous :
They provide evidence of evolution that although they are most derived from common ancestors but still evolve to perform common function for survival.
