The embryos of these species require these structures to survive.
The embryos of these species require these structures to survive.

These species have the exact same DNA sequence.

Answer 1

The presence of a tail and gill slits in all vertebrate embryos at some point during development suggests that these species share a common ancestor. This embryonic similarity is a strong indication of evolutionary relationships among vertebrates.
