Superclass Agnatha = hagfish & lampreys Superclass Gnathostomata = sharks, bony fish, amphibians, turtles, lizards, snakes, crocodiles, birds & mammals 1) Place an "A" on the cladogram to indicate the common ancestor of the members of Superclass Agnatha. Is Superclass Agnatha monophyletic or paraphyletic? Your explanation should refer specifically to this example and this cladogram. 2) Place a "G" on the cladogram to indicate the common ancestor of the members of Superclass Gnathostomata. Is Superclass Gnathostomata monophyletic or paraphyletic? Your explanation should refer specifically to this example and this cladogram. 3) Which of these superclasses does not reflect the Cladistic classification scheme? Why is this superclass acceptable to the Traditional Evolutionary Taxonomists? Explain, referring to cladogram.

Observe the sand tiger shark, which is in the same order as the white shark, i.e., a mackerel shark. How many gill slits does it have?3. Sharks are able to detect bioelectric fields of their prey. What other adaptations (morphological, behavioral, or physiological) do these sharks possess that make them excellent predators?

Q26: Please type the answer this question Salamander larvae basically have a body form similar to the adult-elongated body, tail, and four legs. External gills are present. Fins and balancers are present on some species. Balancers are a pair of organs on the underside of either side of the head that keeps them upright in the water. During metamorphosis the gills and fins are lost, the gill slits close, there is a modification of skin for terrestrial existence, and lungs develop. Question: What do you notice about the development of the legs in salamander larvae. Which legs develop first? Is this different from the anuran larvae? (please answer both parts)
