What are homologous organs? What is homology? What do the homologous organs explain as an evidence of organic evolution?

Answer»

Organs which are similar in origin but perform varied functions are called homologous organs.

Homology is phenomenon of having similar origin and basic structures in different species due to their common ancestry for the same phenotype. Homologous organs indicate divergent evolution.
