Developmental Biology - Embryology 

       Many scientists use what an organism looks like as an  

embryo, or embryology, as evidence for evolution. The  

embryos of most vertebrates look very similar and have similar   structures. For example, fish, bird, rabbit, and human embryos  are similar in appearance in early stages. They all have gill  slits and a tail with muscles to move it. Later as the embryos  develop, they become less and less similar. 

  1. What does the study of embryology show when comparing  most vertebrates?
