Birds differ from their closest relatives, the reptiles, in what ways? (choose all that apply) birds are capable of powered flight, while some reptiles can glide only the birds lay eggs on land; the reptiles can only lay their eggs in water birds have feathers, reptiles have scales the reptiles have a series of internal air sacs that allow a very efficient extraction of oxygen the bones of reptiles are too lightweight to permit flight birds are endothermic, while reptiles are generally ectothermic

Evolution Connection Lizards and snakes cannotbreathe while chewing food because the connection betweentheir external nostrils and their esophagus is in the mouth.In contrast, mammals can continue breathing throughthe nostrils while chewing food in the mouth. However,choking sometimes occurs when the paths of air and foodcross each other. Thinking about the high oxygen demandof active endotherms, explain how the concept of descentwith modification explains this “imperfect” anatomy of someamniotes (see Figure 34.2 to review vertebrate phylogeny).

Whilst fishing, you catch an animal with a long, cylindrical body. You take it back to the lab for dissection and find that it has no vertebral column but a partial cranium. The animal also appears to have no stomach. What do you think this animal will be? A. eel B. sea snake C. hagfish D. catfish
In 1798, a stuffed platypus specimen was delivered tothe British Museum. Reports that it laid eggs createdmuch confusion. To modern biologists, a platypus isclearly a mammal. It has fur and the females producemilk. Young animals have typical mammalian teeth thatare replaced by hardened pads of the “bill” as the animalmatures. Why do you think modern biologists can moreeasily accept that a mammal can have some reptileliketraits than scientists who were considering this animal inthe late 1700s?
