Homologous organs have similar looking structure and similar origin but different functions . Whereas analogous is just the opposite
analogous organs are those that have similar function but different origin and structure
Homologous organs have similar embryonic origin and basic structure whereas Analogous organs have different embryonic origin and basic structure. Homologous organs may look different and may perform different function; e.g., forelimb of a man and flipper of a whale. Whereas Analogous organs look alike and perform same functions; e.g., Wings of birds and insects.
Analogous!
analogous
1. HOMOLOGOUS ( morphological and anatomical evidences ) .These are the organs that have same basic structural plan and origin but different functions. 2. ANALOGOUS These are the organs that have different origin and structure plan but same function
An analogous organ is a structure in different species that serves the same function but does not share a common evolutionary origin. For example, the wings of birds and insects are analogous organs as they both serve the function of flight but evolved independently.
Yes, the nails of a man and claw of a cat are homologous organs with similar structure but performs functions differently.
They are both. They are homologous because they are both examples of a vertebrate forelimb. They are analogous because they were adapted for flight independently of one another.

Homologous = same origin, different function (arms vs. wings) Analogous = same function, different origin (panda thumb)
In biology, homologous structures are defined as structures which serve the same purposes because they evolved from the same source (divergent evolution), the opposite of analogous structures, which serve the same purpose but evolved through convergent evolution. Birds' wings and bats' wings are both homologous and analogous. As wings, the two are analogous, but as forelimbs, the two are homologous.
