Detailed explanation-1: -The wings of birds, bats, and insects are analogous structures; they serve the same function of flight but their structure and origin are different from each other. I. Wings of birds and wings of bats are homologous organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bird and bat wings are analogous-that is, they have separate evolutionary origins, but are superficially similar because they evolved to serve the same function.

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: -For example, the wings of an insect, bird, and bat would all be analogous structures: they all evolved to allow flight, but they did not evolve at the same time, since insects, birds, and mammals all evolved the ability to fly at different times.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of analogous structures range from wings in flying animals like bats, birds, and insects, to fins in animals like penguins and fish. Plants and other organisms can also demonstrate analogous structures, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, which have the same function of food storage.
