Homologous organ : Organ which are seen different due to use in various function but its structure and embryonic embryonic development are similar.
Example - Flipper of Whale, featurer of bat, forlimb of horse, Paw of cat and hands of human.
Analogous organ : Organ which looks similar due to be used in similar function but their internal structure and embryonic development are different.
Example - feature of butterfly, bats and birds all looks similar but their internal structure and origin are different.
Vestigial organ : These are organs which appear functinless in an organism but functional in their ancestor.
Example - vermiform appendix of large intestine and nictitating membrane of human. Vermiform appendix is functional in herbivorous mammal even now.
Fossils : Fossils are the remains of ancient plant or animal which provide evidence for evaluation. Example - Archaeoptery.
Archaeopteryx : It is a fossils look like bird but near a number of features found in reptiles. So, it is a connecting link between aves and reptile.
