Question

Comparative morphology _____. A) compares the embryo development of organisms of different species B) compares the anatomy of organisms of different species C) organizes fossils into a timeline of organism evolution D) analyses the similarities and differences between organisms of the same species

Answer 1

Answer: B) compares the anatomy of organisms of different species.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Morphology is a part of biology which is concerned with the study of structural features of organisms, these features can be outward (external morphology) or inward (internal morphology/anatomy).

• The comparative morphology is the morphological study in which we compare the morphological features of the body plans of organisms belonging to different species and it is widely used in taxonomy.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be B) compares the anatomy of organisms of different species.

Morphology refers to the branch of science that deals with the structure and form of the organisms. For example, cell, tissues, organs, shape, size, color et cetera.

Comparative analysis analyses the pattern (similarity or differences) as well as the structures within the body plan of the organisms.

It helps in the taxonomic organization of different organisms and also helps in founding if different organisms share the common ancestor or not.
