Question

Wings of butterfly and wings of birds are examples for

• A. Vestigial organs
• B. Analogous organs
• C. Homologous organs
• D. Atavistic organs

Answer 1

The correct option is B Analogous organs

Wings of butterfly and wings of birds are analogous as they share a common function but not the embryonic origin. So, the option B is correct.

If they share the embryonic origin then they are called the homologous organs. So, the option C is not correct.

Vestigial organs are the organs that are present in the body but not perform any function. For example, male nipples and the appendix.

Atavism is revert back of the disappeared organ.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
