Can the wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bat be considered homologous organs? Why or why not?
The wing of a butterfly and the wing of a bat cannot be considered as homologous organs. Their wings are functionally the same that are adapted for the flight and they do not have common ancestors. So, they are not homologous organs.
