Question
Analogous structures are
- Anatomically different but performing similar functions
- Anatomically similar but performing different functions
- Anatomically similar and functioning similarly
- Anatomically differentfunctioning differently
The correct answer is: Anatomically different but performing similar functions
The organs which are anatomically different but perform similar functions are called analogous organs. For example insect and bird’s wings are different in basic structure and origin because insect wing is formed from integument while the bird wing is a modified forelimb but functionally both are adapted to flight. The organs which have same basic structure but different functions are called homologous organs.
