Detailed explanation-1: -Bat and bird wings are examples of analogous structures. The wings of the bird are made up of feathers that extend all along the arm. However, the wings of bats consist of flaps of skin that stretch between the bones of the fingers but the wings of both organisms perform the similar function of flying.

Detailed explanation-2: -Analogies are the result of convergent evolution. Interestingly, though bird and bat wings are analogous as wings, as forelimbs they are homologous. Birds and bats did not inherit wings from a common ancestor with wings, but they did inherit forelimbs from a common ancestor with forelimbs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bird and bat wings are analogous-that is, they have separate evolutionary origins, but are superficially similar because they have both experienced natural selection that shaped them to play a key role in flight. Analogies are the result of convergent evolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The wings of birds, hands of humans, and wings of bats are examples of homologous organs. All the structures are similar but they perform different functions.
