- In vertebrate evolution, which of the following evolved most recently? Amniotic egg Jaw Feathers Limbsarrow_forwardWhich of the following passages inaccurately describes the evolutionary process? Birds today are defined by the presence of feathers. Feathers have many uses to include thermoregulation, communication, sounds production, and of course, flight. Feathers seem to have evolved from reptilian scales, and likely originally evolved for the purpose of thermoregulation before flight. Mammals have three ossicles, or tiny bones, in their middle ear that aid the hearing: the malleus, the incus, and the stapes. The stapes is the oldest of the three bones, having evolved from the pharyngeal arch II, called the hyoid arch. We know it's the oldest as it is found in tetrapods (the columella) and in some more recently evolved fish. The malleus and incus evolved from bones of their ancestral mammal-like reptiles' jaws, the articular and the quadrate bone respectively. Those bones moved into the middle ear as the single dentary bone of mammals evolved.
