Detailed explanation-1: -Analogies are similar characteristics shared by two different organisms because of convergent evolution. For example, the wing of a dove and the wing of a butterfly are analogous; the bird lineage and the insect lineage evolved wings independently of one another.

Detailed explanation-2: -The wing of a bird and a butterfly wing are analogous structures, whereby the organisms do not share a common ancestral history.

Detailed explanation-3: -Analogous organs are organs that have different anatomy but perform similar functions and have different origins. An example of an analogous organ is the wings of the insect and the wings of the bird.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why are wings of a butterfly and of a bat are called analogous ? They are analogous organs due to the fact that the basic structure of wing of insects is different from the wings of a bird. However their function is similar. Analogous organs are result of convergent evolution.
