Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

An embryo is an organism in the earliest stages of development. Embryos of different species may look quite similar, even when the adult forms look very different. Look at the drawings of embryos in Figure below . They represent very early life stages of a chicken, turtle, pig, and human being. The embryos look so similar that it’s hard to tell them apart. Such similarities provide evidence that all four types of animals are related. They help document that evolution has occurred.
