They are analogous. Both wings have developed from different origins, adapted for the same job, using different kinetics.

"Analogous" is the only word you may use to define these wings. When you consider bat wings and butterfly wings, none of the other adjectives are scientifically correct.

What is the difference between homologous structures and analogous structures?

Homologous = same origin, different function (arms vs. wings) Analogous = same function, different origin (panda thumb)


What are the difference between homologous organ and analogous organ?

Homologous organs have similar embryonic origin and basic structure whereas Analogous organs have different embryonic origin and basic structure. Homologous organs may look different and may perform different function; e.g., forelimb of a man and flipper of a whale. Whereas Analogous organs look alike and perform same functions; e.g., Wings of birds and insects.


Are the blades of kelp analogous or homologous to the leaves of plants?

The blades of kelp are analogous to the leaves of plants because they serve a similar function (photosynthesis) but are structurally different. Kelp blades are not derived from the same ancestral structures as plant leaves, so they are not homologous.


Is a arm analogous homologous or a vestigal feature?

An arm is an analogous feature because it has evolved independently in different species to serve a similar function, like in the wings of birds and bats. It is not homologous, as it does not share a common evolutionary origin, like the forelimbs of vertebrates. An arm is not vestigial, as it is a functional and adaptive trait that has been retained through evolution for various purposes.


What do homologous structures and analogous structures have in common?

Homologous structures and analogous structures both relate to the study of comparative anatomy and evolution. They demonstrate how different species can develop similar features in response to environmental pressures or evolutionary paths. While homologous structures arise from a common ancestor and share a similar developmental origin, analogous structures serve similar functions but do not share a common evolutionary origin. Both types of structures provide insight into evolutionary relationships and adaptations among species.

Are the wings of birds and the wings of bats homologous or analogous structures?

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.

Is a wing of a bird homologous to the wing of a cat?

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.

Are mosquitoes and horsefly homologous or analogous?

Homologous means that there is a body part that has the same makeup of a body part of a different organism. Therefore, mosquitos and horseflies have mouth parts that are homologous.
