Which observation did von Baer use to reject strict embryonic recapitulation?
AEmbryos lack inherited DNA
BAll embryos have identical adult forms
CEmbryos pass through other species’ adults
DEmbryos never pass through other animals’ adult stages
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Embryos never pass through other animals’ adult stages
Von Baer noted that embryos do not pass through the adult stages of other animals. Shared embryonic features can indicate relationships without literal recapitulation of adult ancestors.
