Detailed explanation-1: -The organs that perform different functions but have the same basic structure are known as homologous organs. For example, forelimbs of humans and lizards are homologous.
Detailed explanation-2: -Homologous organs are organs that have the same structural organization but different functional properties. They have a common ancestral origin. These organs are anatomically similar. Homologous organs are a result of divergent evolution as they evolved through a common ancestor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Homologous organs are similar in basic structure and embryonic origin but serve different functions because they share a common ancestry, whereas diversity in function reflects adaptation to different modes of life. So the reason statement is true.
