Step-by-step solution
Ernst Haeckel proposed embryological support for evolution based on the observation of certain features during the embryonic stage common to all vertebrates that are absent in adults. Karl Ernst von Baer disapproved this proposal after careful study, noting that embryos never pass through the adult stages of other animals. Divergent evolution results in homologous structures, which share a common ancestry but perform different functions (e.g., forelimbs of whales and bats). Convergent evolution results in analogous
