Question

match the traits to their significance as evidence of evolution. move one answer to each box. evidence of a shared developmental pattern suggests a common ancestor with similar features evidence of adaptation to different environments gill pouches and leg buds appear in all vertebrate embryos. leg buds disappear in mammals but remain in reptiles. fish embryos develop gills, while mammals develop lungs.

Explanation:

1. Gill pouches and leg buds appearing in all vertebrate embryos show a shared developmental pattern among different vertebrates.
2. Leg buds disappearing in mammals but remaining in reptiles suggests a common - ancestor with similar features that have undergone different evolutionary changes in different lineages.
3. Fish embryos developing gills while mammals develop lungs is evidence of adaptation to different environments (aquatic for fish and terrestrial for mammals).

Answer:

Evidence of a shared developmental pattern - Gill pouches and leg buds appear in all vertebrate embryos.
Suggests a common ancestor with similar features - Leg buds disappear in mammals but remain in reptiles.
Evidence of adaptation to different environments - Fish embryos develop gills, while mammals develop lungs.
