analogous. adj. 1. similar or corresponding in some respect. 2. (Biology) biology (of organs and parts) having the same function but different evolutionary origin Compare homologous 4: the paddle of a whale and the fin of a fish are analogous. 3. (Linguistics) linguistics formed by analogy: an analogous plural.
In many cases analogous structures, or analogues, tend to become similar in appearance by a process termed convergence. An example is the convergence of the streamlined form in the bodies of squid, shark, seal, porpoise, penguin, and ichthyosaur, animals of diverse ancestry. Physiological processes and behaviour patterns may also exhibit analogous convergence.
