Question

Q and R both are adapted for the same function i.e., flying, thus they are analogous organs.

P and S both have same basic structural plan, thus they are homologous organs.

P and Q are adapted for different functions i.e., swimming and flying respectively thus they are analogous organs.

None of the above.

Analogous organs show a superficial resemblance:

Their internal structure is quite different. They develop in unrelated organisms.

Stages in the development are different.

They have similar functions.

They have a dissimilar developmental pattern. They show convergent evolution.

Homologous organs are similar in embryology, anatomy, and genetics but they have different functions. P and Q are adapted for different functions hence, they are homologous organs and not analogous organs.
