Question

he figure below shows an alligator and mouse embryos sharing the similarity of limb bud development:


What evidence is provided by the similarities between alligator and mouse embryos during development?

The development of the organisms comes from the female parent and determines the physical features of the offspring.

The development of the organisms indicates that they share a common ancestor.

The development of organisms shows patterns that suggest they do not share a common ancestor.

The development of organisms is unique to each species.

Answer 1

The development of the organisms indicates that they share a common ancestor.

Explanation: Similar embryonic structures (like limb buds) in different species are evidence of homology and common ancestry rather than independent origins.
