i need help with the difference between the two as well as classifying which of the following are either homology and analogy
birds wing and bats wing
human arm and bats wing
body form of fish and whale
insect wing and birds wing
body form of a flying squirrel and a sugar glider (possum)
also if you could give a brief description why each is what that would be great as well

Homology means the two structures evolved from the same ancestral line. Like a human arm and a bat wing, or insect wing and bird wing (different types of animals). Analogy means the two structures come from different ancestral lines, but have the same function. Like a bird wing and a bat wing, or body of flying squirrel and sugar glider (all mammals).
