Chapter 21, Problem 11MCQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Fishes are the vertebrates which are found in all types of water. Fishes are broadly divided into two main clades: cartilaginous fishes and bony fishes. Lobe-finned fishes are included under bony fishes. The lobe-finned fishes closely resemble the tetrapods, as their fleshy paired fins contain bone and muscles. Lobe-finned fishes further include the lung fishes, which have lungs similar to tetrapods.
