The organs perform same functions in different groups of organism but are different in this internal structure called as:
Correct answer: B. Analogus organs
- A. Bysmmetry
- B. Analogus organs
- C. Homologus organs
- D. Radial symmetry
- E. Asymmetry
Explanation
Analogous organs are organs that have similar functions but different structures and evolutionary origins. They are not derived from a common ancestor. These organs have independently evolved to perform similar functions in different groups of organisms. For example, the wings of birds and the wings of insects serve the same function of flying, but their structures and developmental origins are different.

About Evolution
Evolution describes heritable change in populations over generations through variation, natural selection and adaptation. Lamarckism explains inheritance of acquired characteristics, while Darwinism explains selection of favourable inherited variations; these historical explanations must not be confused with the modern genetic account of evolutionary change.
