Chapter 22, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which homologous forelimbs of vertebrates supports the theory that population evolves from one generation to the next.
Introduction:
A group of organisms, which are related and share a distinctive form, is known as species. Members of the species living in a particular area at a particular time, which are capable of interbreeding, are known as a population. The population keeps changing to produce new species over time. Evolution refers to the changes in the characteristics of a population, which are transferred over several generations through time.

Which of the following is not a statement of von Baer's laws?
Less general characters develop from the more general, until finally the most specialized appear.
The general features of a large group of animals appear earlier in development than do the specialized
features of a smaller group.
(C) All of the above are Statements of von Baer's laws.
The early embryo of a higher animal is never like a lower animal, but only like its early embryo.
The embryo of a given species, instead of passing through the adult stages of lower animals, departs more and
more from them.
1 page: Describe the radiation in vertebrate forms from phylotypic stage by focusing on three groups of vertebrates and then tracing the development of several homologous features in each group. Connect specific embryological structures in the phylotypic stage to divergent morphological structures in the adults of each of these groups.
Explain the difference between generalized and specialized characteristics. What are examples of each in terms of the adaptive potential? Define the term “adaptive radiation” and explain why it is important to the principle of evolution. Why was adaptive radiation especially important to mammals’ eventual rapid evolutionary success and diversification? What are some of the different groups of mammals?
