Vedclass · Answer

(C) Homologous organs are those that have the same basic structural plan and embryonic origin but may perform different functions.Wings of a pigeon and the forelimbs of a man share the same skeletal structure (humerus,radius,ulna,carpals,metacarpals,and phalanges),indicating a common evolutionary ancestry.In contrast,wings of insects and birds are analogous organs because they perform the same function (flight) but have different structural origins.
