Answer:

Analogous

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of Analogous is “Comparable in certain respects, typically in a way which makes clearer the nature of things compared”

And the biology definition is “performing a similar function but having different evolutionary origin, such as the wings of insects and birds”
