Answer 1

The best example of evidence you could use to support the argument that the organisms share an ancestor is patterns in limb structures. Comparative anatomy, particularly the similarities in bone structures and patterns in limbs among different species, often indicates a common evolutionary ancestor. This kind of evidence shows how different organisms can evolve similar structures under different environmental pressures while retaining a common origin.
