Homology vs. Analogy Worksheet - KEY 
1.The wings of a bat and the wings of a butterfly are similar in that they both allow the 
organisms to fly. Are bats and butterflies closely related?
No – Bats are mammals
butterflies are insects 
Are the wings on these two organisms Homologous or Analogous Structures? 
Analogous 
since the animals are not closely related, so the wings likely developed independent from 
each other rather than from a common ancestor. 
2. A duck and a platypus are similar in that they both lay eggs. Are ducks and 
platypuses closely related?
No, one is a bird and one is a mammal 
Is egg laying in these two organisms an example of a Homologous or Analogous 
trait? 
Analogous structures since the animals are not closely related, so the egg 
laying capability likely developed independently rather than from a common 
ancestor. 
3. Humans, Chimpanzees, and Gorillas all have similar hand structures. Are 
humans, chimps, and gorillas closely related? 
Yes, both are mammals
Are the hands in these organisms examples of Homologous or Analogous 
structures? 
Homologous since the organisms are closely related so the hands 
likely came from a common ancestor.
4. Pigs and deer have similar ankle bones. Are pigs and deer closely related? 
Yes, both are 
mammals 
Are the ankle bones of these organisms examples of Homologous or Analogous structures? 
Homologous since the organisms are closely related so the shape of the ankle bones likely 
came from a common ancestor.
5. A shark and a penguin are similar in that they both have flippers to propel them through 
the water. Are sharks and penguins closely related
? No, one is a bird and one is a fish 
Are flippers in these two organisms an example of Homologous or Analogous structures? 
Analogous structures since the animals are not closely related, so the flippers likely 
developed independently rather than from a common ancestor.
6. Dogs and cats have similar paws. Are dogs and cats closely related? 
Yes, both are 
mammals.
Are the paws of these two organisms an example of Homologous or Analogous 
structures? 
Homologous since the organisms are closely related so the shape of the paws 
likely came from a common ancestor.
7. Monarch and Blue Morpho Butterflies have similar wings. Are monarchs and 
morphos closely related? 
Yes, both are insects.
Are the wings of these two organisms an example of Homologous or Analogous 
structures? 
Homologous since the organisms are closely related
