Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Analogous Organs**: Analogous organs are structures in different species that perform similar functions but do not share a common evolutionary origin. This means that while they may look or function similarly, they evolved independently. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Similar in origin**: This is incorrect because analogous organs have different origins. - **Option B: Structure is same**: This is also incorrect. While they may serve similar functions, their structures may differ due to different evolutionary paths. - **Option C: Non-functional**: This is incorrect as well. Analogous organs are functional; they serve specific purposes in the organisms that possess them. - **Option D: Their function is same**: This is correct. Analogous organs perform similar functions, even though they arise from different evolutionary backgrounds. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options, the correct answer is that analogous organs are those that have the same function but different origins. **Final Answer**: D. Their function is the same. ---
