All vertebrates inherit the same sequence of DNA from their parents.

Explanation: The similarity in embryological development is best explained by shared genetic information from a common ancestor (conserved genes like Hox genes) that directs body-plan formation. The other choices (similar environments, backbone as an outcome, or nutrient needs) do not account for the conserved developmental program.
