Detailed explanation-1: -Analogous structures, on the other hand, can be represented by the wings of birds and of insects; the structures are used for flight in both types of organisms, but they have no common ancestral origin at the beginning of their evolutionary development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bird and bat wings are analogous-that is, they have separate evolutionary origins, but are superficially similar because they have both experienced natural selection that shaped them to play a key role in flight. Analogies are the result of convergent evolution.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Insect wing, bat wing and a bird wing are considered analogous structures. Analogous structures are those that have a similar function but evolved separately. A homologous structure is a structure derived from a common ancestor.

Detailed explanation-4: -For example, insects use wings to fly like bats and birds, but the wing structure and embryonic origin is completely different. These are called analogous structures.

Detailed explanation-5: -The wings of a bird and the wings of an insect are analogous structures and represent convergent evolution. Both serve the same function and are similar in structure, but each evolved independently.
