Analogous organs/structures - The organs which have similar functions but are different in their structure details and origin are called analogous organs. The analogous structures are the result of convergent evolution. Example - Analogous organs are wings of birds and butterflies, flippers of penguins and dolphins, eyes of the octopus and of mammals, sweet potato and potato.

Which of the following is the burrowing marsupial?
1 Thylacinus
2 Notoryctus
3 Myrmecobius
4 Phascolarctos
Explanation:
Notoryctus also known as the marsupial mole, is the only burrowing marsupial. It is a small, blind marsupial that lives in the deserts of Australia. It is well - adapted to its borrowing lifestyle, with strong claws, a pointed snout and thick fur that protects if from the sand and heat.

The adaptive similarities in different animals, found in the same habitat, is called
1 Adaptive radiation
2 Convergent evolution
3 Parallel evolution
4 Retrogressive evolution
Explanation:
Convergent evolution - Convergent evolution refers to the evolution in different lineages of structures that are similar or 'analogous' but that cannot be attributed to the existence of a common ancestor, in other words, the fact that the structures are analogous does not reflect homology.
