Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Wings of a bat and wings or an insect are an example of this ____
A
Homologous Structure
B
Analogous Structure
C
Vestigial Structure
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Wings of insects and wings of bats are analogous organs in animals. IV. Thorns of citrus and tendrils of Cucurbita are analogous organs in plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -As previously mentioned, the wings on insects, bats, and birds are analogous structures because they evolved independently. That is, the last common ancestor between insects, bats, and birds did not have wings itself.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bird and Bat wings are analogous because they evolved independently. But the wing bones are homologous because they were inherited from the common ancestor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of Analogous Structures. The wings of a bird and of an insect are analogous organs. Both of these species have wings that they use for flight and yet their wings came from dissimilar ancestral origins.

Detailed explanation-5: -1: Homologous structures: Bat and bird wings are homologous structures, indicating that bats and birds share a common evolutionary past. Notice it is not simply a single bone, but rather a grouping of several bones arranged in a similar way.
