The wings of birds and bees are an example of analogous features, as they have evolved independently in each group and do not share a common ancestry that possessed wings. Homologous features are those that are inherited from a common ancestor and are usually more similar in structure.
That depends on what two species you're referring to. Homologous parts are similar in structure and evolutionary origin, though not necessarily in function. for example: human arms and bat's wings Analogous parts, on the other hand function similarly, but may not be similar in structure or evolutionary origin. example: a butterfly's wings and birds' wings
No, insects and bats have wings and neither of them are birds.
Birds have two legs with wings and bills.
yes. Birds are the only animals on earth that have feathers covering their bodies. They are also a vertebrae animal, which means they have a spine.

They are both. They are homologous because they are both examples of a vertebrate forelimb. They are analogous because they were adapted for flight independently of one another.
Birds and bats are homoplasious because they are similar, but not derived from a common ancestor. An example of homologous structures is a man's arm and a cow's foreleg. They are anatomically similar but have different functions.
Homologous
In biology, homologous structures are defined as structures which serve the same purposes because they evolved from the same source (divergent evolution), the opposite of analogous structures, which serve the same purpose but evolved through convergent evolution. Birds' wings and bats' wings are both homologous and analogous. As wings, the two are analogous, but as forelimbs, the two are homologous.
Yes. Though they both enable the organism to fly, they are different on the inside. Bird wings have tiny bones in them, while butterfly wings are kept rigid by fluid pressure. Therefore, they have a similar function but different structures and are analogous.
Examples of Homologous Structure: Rodent teeth Hooves in species of camels, goats, sheep and cattle Hands and feet in primates Bird feathers Shark morphology
Yes they are. I disagree. Even if they ultimately come from a common ancestor, in order to classify two characteristics as homologous, they have to have some similarities. After millions of years of being in the oceans, the fins of whales have evolved such that they are not at all similar to cats' legs.
There are a few different similarities between the wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bat. Both are used to fly for example.
The homologous is the study of animals.

Yes. Takahe are birds, and all birds have wings. Even flightless birds have wings, though they are of little or no use.
