Detailed explanation-1: -Analogies are similar characteristics shared by two different organisms because of convergent evolution . For example, the wing of a dove and the wing of a butterfly are analogous; the bird lineage and the insect lineage evolved wings independently of one another.

Detailed explanation-2: -The wings of a butterfly and the wings of a bird are analogous, but not homologous. Some structures are both analogous and homologous: the wings of a bird and the wings of a bat are both homologous and analogous.

Detailed explanation-3: -Why are wings of a butterfly and of a bat are called analogous ? They are analogous organs due to the fact that the basic structure of wing of insects is different from the wings of a bird. However their function is similar. Analogous organs are result of convergent evolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: Wings of birds, bats, and human hands are examples of homologous organs.
