Question

This diagram shows that embryos of certain species develop almost identically in the earliest stages of embryonic development. These physical similarities indicate that there are also genetic similarities among these organisms. The physical and genetic embryological similarities among these organisms suggest that they A. descended from a common ancestor. B. have multiple vestigial organs in common. C. are members of the same genus. D. hunt and breed in similar habitats.

Answer 1

The correct option is A.
The observation that the embryos of certain species have physical and genetical similarities in the earliest stages of embryonic development shows that individual development of an organism shows its revolutionary history and this is taken as an evidence of common ancestry. Scientists takes this observation to mean that all life on earth developed from a single ancestor.<span />
