Question
Write short notes: Embryology.
✓
Answer
- Embryology is the study of developing embryos.
- These embryos in their initial stages are very similar to each other.
- These similarities decrease later in the development.
- This similarity in initial stages indicate that these vertebrates have originated from a common ancestor.
- In evolutionary science, comparative study of embryos of various vertebrates provide evidence for evolution.
