Students have asked these similar questions
fossil bird
salamander
2. This fossil bird and this living salamander both have tails. However, they have
different tail structures. The bird has a very short tail made of just one bone
that helps it have a light skeleton for flying. The salamander has a long tail with
many bones that helps it balance while it runs. What most likely explains why
both the bird and salamander have tails and why the tails are different?
a) The salamander and bird both inherited tails from a shared ancestor
population, but this population separated into different environments.
In each environment, different types of tails evolved, which helped the
populations survive.
It is impossible to explain the body structures of different species. The way
that structures change over time is very complex, and no one has ever
observed these changes occurring.
The bird and salamander are different species, so they do not share an
ancestor population. These species had separate ancestor populations, and
each evolved a…

Compare the overall body structure of the cave fish and the minnow below.
cave fish
minrow
1. What is the biggest, most obvious difference between the body structure of these two fish?
2. Assume the two fish came from the same original ancestor. Why might the cave fish have
evolved withouteyesight?
3. What kind of sensory adaptation would you hypothesize the cave fish has to allow it to navigate
in a cave, including catching and eating food?

Though they all share animal characteristics, each phylum has unique characteristics that allow for identification and classification of those organisms. Scientists do not always rely solely on their memory to help them classify animals, they often rely on reference materials. In this activity, you will create your own reference for the animal kingdom. Instructions: Review the information found in the lessons on invertebrates including The Animal Kingdom, Body Plans, Phylum Placazoa, Phylum Porifera to review the key characteristics that define the phyla that you study. Create a concept map or illustrated drawing for each phylum (Placazoa and Porifera) that will help you classify invertebrate animals into that group.arrow_forwardRoom - YouTube X a acellus.com student login - Searc X A Acellus- The Science of Learning X + https://admin261.acellus.com/StudentFunctions/Interface/acellus_engine.html?ClassID=389620231 mal Exam here to search What did amphibians develop that made them more advanced than their ancestors?
