Question
Scientists use various methods to determine how closely two species are related. One method is to compare their
physical features, and another is to compare their DNA. Can scientists also use similarities in the embyros of two
animal species to help determine how closely they are related?
No, comparing embryos of organisms does not help determine how closely two species are related. Scientists can
obtain the same information comparing adult organisms
No, comparing embryos of organisms does not help determine how closely two species are related. The embryos
change too much as they grow into adult organisms
Yes, comparing embryos is a useful way of determining how closely two species are related. There may be important
similarities in the features of the embryos, even when the adults look very different.
Yes, it is sometimes useful to compare embryos, but only when the adults are very similar
