EVOLUTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How is information from the field of embryology used as evidence for evolution?
A
It shows that organisms from the same species have similar developmental patterns.
B
It shows that organisms from different species have similar developmental patterns.
C
It shows that organisms from different species have similar DNA.
D
It shows that organisms from the same species have similar DNA.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Embryology can indicate evolutionary relationships between groups of organisms only because embryos have undergone less change than adults. Thus, biologists can see those structures that are similar between species at early stages of development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Studying the structures that develop during an embryo’s various stages of growth is called embryology and can be used to show the genetic similarities that suggest certain patterns of evolution. Most embryos look similar in their early stages, but as they develop, the differences between species become more obvious.

Detailed explanation-3: -Embryology Evolution Evidence For instance, human embryos have a tail that becomes the tail bone. This pattern indicates that all vertebrates stem from a common ancestor that developed that way, and everything diverged from there.
