“Ontogeny
recapitulates phylogeny
Ernst Haeckel
theorizes that the stages an
animal embryo undergoes
during development are a
chronological replay of that
species’ past evolutionary
forms.
Ernst Haeckel
Recapitulation is
not the only relationship between
embryos and ancestors.
Gavin de Beers
Embryonic structures may or
may not be present from their
ancestors or descendants.
t/f

vestigial
(lost); or retained to adulthood.

repeated in later stage but not
in earlier stages.

may not be altered in the

carries only one copy of each
chromosome
