evidence for evolution Flashcards
how vestigal organs serve as evidence for evolution
they provide strong evidence of common ancestry and can help us trace the evolutionary origin of the species with the vestigial structures.
discuss how embryology provides evidence for the evolutionary relationships between species
Embryos of different species have differences and similarities in structures up to a certain period during gestation.
the significance of homologous structures such as the pentadactyl limb in demonstrating common ancestry
Homologous structures provide evidence for common ancestry.
Throughout the tetrapods, the fundamental structures of pentadactyl limbs are the same, indicating that they originated from a common ancestor.
