Question

The study of embryos and other early stages of development can help in the classification of living things, past and present, by providing clues about the -

f common ancestry among vertebrate species
g rate of appearances of new terrestrial organisms
h prokaryotic species that are at risk for extinction
j barriers to mating among marine populations

Answer 1

Common ancestry among vertebrate species

Step-by-step explanation:

According to biogenetic law, stages of embryological development of an organism recapitulates its evolutionary history. The shared characters are exhibited by early embryological stages of various species while the derived features appear in later stages. Hence, study of embryos and other early stages of development help in classification by establishing the evolutionary relationship among vertebrate species.
