Scientists compare the structures of a chicken embryo and a human embryo at the same stage of development. They find that both vertebrates have similar shapes and structures, including the presence of gill slits and tails. How is this comparison of the embryos used as supporting evidence of evolution?
A. The similarities suggest that chickens and humans are the direct descendants of modern day fish with tails and gill slits.
B. The similarities suggest that vertebrates passthrough each of the adult stages of their evoluntionary history as they develop.
C. The similarities suggest that vertebrates can undergo genetic changes during development that lead to the evolution of new species
D. The similarities suggest that chickens and humans descend from ancestors with genes that code for the development of tails and gill slits
The following diagram is of the blastopore stage of embryonic development. Based on the information in the diagram, which of the following statements is correct
a. Most animals exhibit this pattern of development.
b. It would have formed by spiralian cleavage.
c. It would exhibit determinate development.
d. All of the choices are correct.
Researchers searched for an activator of neural tissue formation. What is the real pathway for this developmental phenomenon?
a. Neural tissue formation occurs via BMP inhibition by proteins secreted from the organizer.
b. Noggin activates ectoderm to become neural tissue.
c. Nodal activation induces mesoderm to make neural tissue.
d. Beta-catenin is required for formation of neural tissue.
