The wings of a housefly and the wings of a sparrow are an example of:(a) analogous organs (b) vestigial organs (c) respiratory organs (d) homologous organs
Correct Answer: (a) analogous organs
Explanation:
Analogous organs are superficially similar, anatomical dissimilar, and perform the same functions.
Analogous organs are not inherited from their ancestors.
They are developed in unrelated species because of convergent evolution and adaptation to a similar environment.
For example, wings in birds, bats and insects; fins in penguins and fishes are analogous organs.
