Detailed Solution

Analogous structures are structures that have similar form and functions, but do not share a common evolutionary origin and, have a different basic structural plan. They arise from different ancestral structures, and they evolved independently through convergent evolution.Convergent evolution is the process where organisms that are not closely related evolve similar traits independently in response to similar environmental pressures.
(1) Homologous organs are a result of shared ancestry.
(2) Stabilizing selection does not lead to evolution of new traits/species.
(3) Homologous organs illustrate the phenomenon of divergent evolution.
