In 1798, a stuffed platypus specimen was delivered to the British Museum. Reports that it laid eggs created much confusion. To modem biologists, a platypus is clearly a mammal. It has fur and the females produce milk. Young animals have typical mammalian teeth that are replaced by hardened pads of the bill as the animal matures. Why do you think modem biologists can more easily accept that a mammal can have some reptilelike traits than scientists who were considering this animal in the late 1700s?

4) What makes Archeopteryx an important fossil evolutionarily? A)This species has a mix of characters that suggest it was a "transitional" species between two large groups, dinosaurs and birds. B)This species is the oldest known, universally agreed upon, fossil of life, and therefore tells up what the common ancestor to all living things might have been like. C)This species has a mix of characters that suggests is was a "transitional" species between two large groups, fish and amphibians. D)This species is thought to be the last common ancestor between chimps and humans, and therefore is the root of our own specific group (homonins).
11. Vestigial structures are body parts that seemingly have no purpose or function. They once did, but somewhere along the way they lost their functions and are now basically useless. The existence of vestigial structures is on of the strongest evidences of evolution. Which of the following is NOT an example of vestigial structure? * a. Coccyx from the lower portion of the vertebra of human. b. Appendix is a narrow tube that extends from cecum. c. Hair like projections in the nose are called vibrissae. d. Body hair on the chest of man. 12. Rice is a staple food in the Philippines.
