The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the wings of a bat, bird, and insect, we will break down the concepts of homologous and analogous organs step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Homologous Organs - **Definition**: Homologous organs are those that have a similar embryonic origin but may serve different functions in adult organisms. - **Example**: The wings of bats and birds are homologous. Both wings have evolved from a similar ancestral structure, which is why they share a common origin. ### Step 2: Understanding Analogous Organs - **Definition**: Analogous organs are those that perform similar functions but have different evolutionary origins. - **Example**: The wings of bats and insects are analogous. Although both wings allow for flight, they evolved independently and do not share a common ancestral structure. ### Step 3: Analyzing the Assertion - The assertion states that the wing of a bat is homologous to the wing of a bird and analogous to the wing of an insect. - This is correct because: - Bat and bird wings share a common evolutionary origin (homologous). - Bat and insect wings serve the same function (flight) but do not share a common origin (analogous). ### Step 4: Analyzing the Reason - The reason provided states that homologous organs are similar in function but analogous organs are similar in origin. - This is incorrect because: - Homologous organs are not similar in function; they are different in function despite having a similar origin. - Analogous organs are similar in function but have different origins. ### Conclusion - The assertion is correct, while the reason is incorrect. Therefore, the overall statement can be concluded as true for the assertion and false for the reason. ### Final Answer - Assertion: Correct - Reason: Incorrect ---
