Answer:

Embryonic development is the initial stage in organism's life. Many animal and birds species shows similar embryonic growth. This indicates that they are evolved from a common ancestor. Differences in features and structures in adulthood is because of genetic information present in the embryo and the process of subsequent adaptations for the purpose of evolution.
