Vedclass · Answer

(C) Wings of pigeons (birds),mosquitoes (insects),and bats (mammals) are analogous organs,meaning they perform the same function (flight) but have different anatomical structures and embryonic origins.This similarity in function,which has developed in distantly related groups,is an adaptation to the same environmental pressure (the need for flight).Therefore,this phenomenon is known as analogy or convergent evolution.
