Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Wing of a butterfly and wings of birds are analogous organs as their origin is not the same but they perform similar functions. We can infer the evolutionary relationship between organisms and this is an example of convergent evolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -For instance, the wings of a bird and a butterfly are analogous structures because they are superficially similar in shape and function.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
