    Homologous structures refer to similar body structures that have evolved from a common ancestor and share a developmental pattern, such as wings in birds and bats. Analogous structures are body parts that appear similar between different species but developed independently through convergent evolution as an adaptation to similar environments, rather than sharing an ancestor, such as wings in insects and birds. Morphological convergence results in analogous structures while divergence through evolution from a common ancestor produces homologous structures.
