Q 26. Forelimbs of cat and lizard used in walking and forelimbs of whale used in swimming and forelimbs of bats used in flying are examples of: Option A Adaptive radiation Option B Homologous organs Option C Convergent evolution Option D Analogous organs
Q 26. Forelimbs of cat and lizard used in walking and forelimbs of whale used in swimming and forelimbs of bats used in flying are examples of: Option A Adaptive radiation Option B Homologous organs Option C Convergent evolution Option D Analogous organs

Correct Option: B

Solution: Homologous organs are those organs that are similar in structure and origin but are not similar in function and form. So the forelimbs of cat and lizard used in walking and forelimbs of a whale used in swimming and forelimbs of bat are all same in structure but the functions performed by them are different. So they are examples of homologous organs.
