Question

Annelids and Molluscs have a similar larva called Trochophore. This is an example of-

• A. Biogenetic law
• B. Molecular Phylogeny
• C. Embryological evidence- common ancestor
• D. Molecular clock

Answer 1

The correct option is C Embryological evidence- common ancestor

The embryology of different organisms provide very strong evidence favouring evolution. Similarities among vertebrate embryos and similarities among invertebrate embryos show evolutionary significance in embryology. Annelids and Molluscs have a similar larva called Trochophore which is an example of embryological evidence.
