Homologous Organs are organs that share the same anatomy but perform different functions.
Analogous Organs are organs that have differing anatomy but perform similar functions.
Organs that are homologous are inherited from a common ancestor and develop in closely related species.
Whereas analogous organs are not inherited from ancestors and are developed in species that aren't related.
A divergent evolution results in homologous organs.
A convergent evolution results in analogous organs.
As a result of the adaptation to different surroundings, homologous organs develop.
As a result of adaptation to a similar environment, analogous organs develop.
A human arm, a dog's leg, or a whale's flipper are examples of homologous organs.
Analogous organs include wings in birds, bats, and insects, as well as fins in penguins and fish.
