Which of the Following Best Represents Analogous Structures

Question

Which of the following best represents analogous structures?
A)the arm of a human and the wing of a bat
B)the arm of a human and the leg of a human
C)the wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bee
D)the wing of a bat and the wing of a butterfly

Accepted Answer

Analogous structures are features in different species that have similar functions but do not share a common ancestral origin. The wing of a bat and the wing of a butterfly serve the same function (flight) but evolved independently, making them analogous.
