Forelimbs of cat, lizard used in walking forelimbs of whale used in swimming and forelimbs of bats used in flying are an example of
analogous organs
adaptive radiation
homologous organs
homologous organs
C.
homologous organs
Homologous organs, are those organs which have a common fundamental anatomical plan and similar embryonic origin but perform varied functions. Forelimbs of cat, lizard used in walking, forelimbs of bats used in flying are the example for homologous organs. All are the modified forelimbs, with the same type of bones. They have become different due to the adaptions to the different habitat.
Which one of the following are analogous structures?
Wings of bat and wings of pigeon
Gills of prawn and lungs of man
Thorns of Bougainvillea and tendrils of Cucurbita
