________ organs are those organs which have the same basic structural design and origin but have different functions.

Correct option is D

Correct Answer: (D) Homologous

Explanation:

• Homologous organs are those organs that have the same basic structural design and origin but perform different functions.
• These organs are derived from a common ancestor, and their differences in function arise due to adaptations to different environments or needs.
• Examples include the wings of a bat, the flipper of a whale, and the human arm—all have similar bone structures but serve different functions.

Other Options:

•  Analogous:Analogous organs perform similar functions but have different structural designs and origins. For example, the wings of a bird and a butterfly are analogous.
• Homogeneous: This term refers to things that are uniform or similar in composition, not specifically related to biology.
• Heterogeneous: This refers to things made of different components or parts, not a biological classification.
