Detailed explanation-1: -Analogous structures are similar structures in unrelated organisms. These structures are similar because they do the same job, not because they share common ancestry.
Detailed explanation-2: -Analogous structures are common traits found in different groups of species which are anatomically different, serve the same function, but evolved independently in the different groups of species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Homologous structures are similar physical features in organisms that share a common ancestor, but the features serve completely different functions. An example of homologous structures are the limbs of humans, cats, whales, and bats.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is analogous organs. The organs that have different basic structures (or different basic designs) but have a similar appearance and perform similar functions are called analogous organs.
Detailed explanation-5: -Comparative Anatomy Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor.
