Embryology-Reading, Notes & Card Sort-Remote-Ulv

The two images show early stage embryos of a human and a chicken that look remarkably similar. This is because all vertebrate embryos initially develop in similar ways, with features like pharyngeal pouches and a tail. While embryos later specialize into species-specific structures, their early similarities provide evidence that vertebrates evolved from a common ancestor. The conservation of certain genes like HOX genes across species also supports this. Embryology demonstrates that although organisms look quite different at birth, their embryos first go through stages of development that are common among vertebrate species.

Explanation:
I tried to find similarities between each different stage and then accurately match them together. I’m not positive if I got everything
correct, but I tried my best. I grouped them by finding many same quality’s that look like they all have in common and putting the
animals together.
