similar dna sequences
vestigial structures like the hip bone in whales
similar embryo development
transitional fossils

• Similar DNA sequences: Organisms with common ancestry often have similar DNA, showing evolutionary relationships.
• Vestigial structures (like whale hip bones): These are remnants of structures from ancestors, indicating evolution.
• Similar embryo development: Similarities in embryonic stages suggest shared ancestry.
• Transitional fossils: Fossils like basilosaurid whales show intermediate forms, proving evolution.

Answer:

A. Similar DNA sequences
B. Vestigial structures like the hip bone in whales
C. Similar embryo development
D. Transitional fossils
