Q. The wings of a bird and the wings of an insect are

AIPMTAIPMT 2015Evolution

Solution:

Analogous organs are the organs which have similar function but are different in their structural details and origin. The analogous structures are the result of convergent evolution. The wings of an insect are analogous to wings of a bird because the basic structure of the wings of the insects is different from the wings of bird.
