Question

Embryology provides evidence for evolution because

A. studying organisms during their early development provides clues as to how the adult functions.
B. studying organisms during their early development gives insights as to the organism's diet and how it has changed over many generations.
C. during their development, embryos experience genetic mutations, some of which allow the embryo a better chance of survival.
D. during their development, many organisms look similar, suggesting that very different organisms may have a common ancestor

Answer 1

The answer would most likely be D. During their development, many organisms look similar, suggesting that very different organisms may have a common ancestor.

This is because this be evidence to the theory of common decent

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (D).

Explanation:

Embryology may be defined as the branch of biology that mainly deals with the study and development of embryo. Embryological evidence is helpful to explain the evolutionary history of the organisms.

Embryo structure of different organisms looks similar and contains structure like tails and gill slits. The different organisms share a similar developmental and structural organisation at embryo level.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
