Scientists compare the limbs of organisms to look for evidence of common ancestry. These limbs provide evidence of common ancestry because they -

• perform the same function

• are the same size

• have the same basic structure

• are parts of the same animal

The similarities among early stages of the embryos provide evidence that -

• these organisms evolved from a common ancestor

• the organisms all retained their gills and tails

• the organisms belong to the same species
