A scientist finds that the embryos of penguins and ducks develop in a similar way, whereas the embryos of a bat develop in a way that is different from penguins and ducks. Which statement BEST explains this observation?
A)
Penguin and duck embryos develop in a similar way since they both have similar ecological roles.
B)
Penguin and duck embryos develop in a more similar way due to the greater number of chromosomes present in these species.
C)
Bats experience more genetic mutations that do penguins and ducks and are likely to develop
