- According to the picture blow, how many times did branched filaments evolve in dinosaurs?arrow_forwardThe ancestors of extant tetrapods first evolved the ability to live out of water over 350 million years ago. Which of the following had to have been true for natural selection to have favored the original evolution of limbs? A) Closely related lineages that remained in the ocean must have gone extinct. There must have been differences in survival and or/reproduction based on size, musculature, bones or other (B functional aspects of early limbs. Large predators must have been a major source of mortality for populations that spent more time in the water and less on land. The ability of some ancestral fish-tetrapod transitional forms to move from one body of water to another during D droughts must have led to decreased mortality. E There must have been less competition for food on land.arrow_forwardWas the ancestor of all dinosaurs feathered or scaly? What character condition did you get? use the picture below.arrow_forward
- What is present on the feet of birds which provides more evidence for their evolution from reptiles and dinosaurs?arrow_forwardAccording to Richard Owen, the forelimbs of an adult human (with hands, adapted for grasping fruit from a tree), and the forelimbs of an adult bat (with wings, adapted for flight), are both derived from the same mammalian embryological structures, so they must represent: homologous structures, with similar embryonic anatomy, but different functions analogous structures, with different functions, and different embryonic anatomy analogous structures, with similar functions, but different embryonic anatomy analogous structures, with different embryonic anatomy, and different functions homologous structures, with different embryonic anatomy, but similar functionsarrow_forwardCompare and contrast the specimens of H. habilis with H. rudolfensis. Some paleoanthropologists believe these specimens represent one species, but differ because one is female and one is male. Others believe them to be different species. What do you think? Support your answer using anatomical evidence. Name the key anatomical features and behaviors that set the earliest member of our genus, H. habilis, apart from the australopithecines and that are defining characteristics of the genus Homo.arrow_forward
