Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wings of birds and butterflies have different evolutionary origins, meaning they do not have a common ancestor with wings. Therefore, they are not homologous structures. They do have a similar function, which is to allow flight, making them analogous structures. Physiological structures refer to internal structures or functions of an organism, and phylogenetic structures are not a recognized term in evolutionary biology.
