14. Homologous organs are body structures found in related species that look much the same because they arose from a related structure in a common ancestor.
Analagous organs are those that have a common function (may look alike or serve the same purpose) but are found in animals that are not directly related.
The wings of a hummingbird, eagle and penguin all look somewhat different, but are used to move them about. Because the wings of these birds came from a common ancestor, these wings are an example of
a) a homologous organ.
