Question
Write a short note:
Embryological evidences
Advertisements
Solution
- Embryological evidences arise from comparative study of embryological developmental stages of various vertebrates.
- Embryos of different vertebrates appear similar during the initial stages of development and these similarities gradually decrease as the embryo develops.
- Embryology can be used as evidence of evolution as similarities in initial stages of development indicate common origin of the animals.
