Evidence from Anatomy and Development
Compare the anatomical structures and embryonic development of different organisms to identify evidence of shared ancestry, such as homologous and vestigial structures.
About This Topic
Compare the anatomical structures and embryonic development of different organisms to identify evidence of shared ancestry, such as homologous and vestigial structures.
Key Questions
- Compare homologous structures with analogous structures, explaining what each reveals about evolutionary relationships.
- Explain how vestigial structures provide evidence for an organism's evolutionary past.
- Analyze similarities in embryonic development across different vertebrate species as evidence for common ancestry.
