"Do these gill like features develop because certain parts of the human genome is common to all animals but then as the fetus develops, dna peculiar to humans takes over and 'uncreates' the gill like features?"

Pretty close to this. While the observed features are ancestral to the gill arches of fish, they only look like gills, they don't have any actual gill function.
