Question

Wings of a bird and forelimbs of a horse are:

• A. Analogous organs
• B. Homologous organs
• C. Vestigial organs
• D. Both A and C

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Homologous organs

Homologous organs are those organs that have originated from the same basic structure but perform different functions.

Example: The wings of birds and forelimbs of the horse originated from a similar structure but use them differently. Thus, these structures are homologous structures.

So, the correct answer is (B).
