Definitions / Explanation : Homology & Adaptive radiation or divergent evolution
It is the similarity between organs of different animals based on common ancestry or common embryonic origin and built on the same fundamental pattern but perform varied functions and have different appearance e.g. Seal flipper and forelimbs of birds, bat, horse and human look different, perform different functions but exhibit same structural plan.
It represents evolution of new forms in several directions from the common ancestral type (divergence).
