Question

Wings of bird and bat are

• A. Homologous with no analogy
• B. Analogous with no homology
• C. Neither homologous nor analogous
• D. Both homologous and analogous

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Analogous with no homology

• Convergent evolution is the process whereby organisms not closely related, independently evolve similar traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments or ecological niches. Convergent evolution creates analogous organs.
  
• Analogous organs have similar function but have different structure and origin. For example, wings of birds and bat.
  
• Hence wings of bird and bat are analogous with no homology.
  
• So, the correct answer is 'Analogous with no homology'.
