Q. Which of the following set contains only homologous organs?

Bihar CECEBihar CECE 2008

Solution:

Organs that have developed from the same embryonic cell and thus have similar internal organization are called homologous organs. These organs may or may not have similar functions, eg. Whales flipper, forelimb of horse, human hand whereas, the organs developed from different embryonic cells but are superficially similar in function are called analogous organs, eg. Wings of birds and insects.
