Chapter 17, Problem 13WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The adaptations which enabled fishes, amphibians, snakes, and birds to survive in their respective habitats.
Introduction:
Chordates are a humongous group of animals. Most of the chordates are vertebrates. Some invertebrates with similar characteristics as chordates are also classified as sub-phyla in chordates. The broad classes of phylum chordate are reptiles, amphibians, aves, and mammals.

Which of the following is the correct classification for this chordate animal:
This vertebrate starts its life cycle in the water in a form without legs. the adult form is a tetrapod and lives mostly on land. These animals do not have a tail and they are specialized for movement like jumping to capture prey.

External gills are present. Fins and balancers are present on some species. Balancers are a pair of organs on the underside of either side of the head that keeps them upright in the water. During metamorphosis the gills and fins are lost, the gill slits close, there is a modification of skin for terrestrial existence, and lungs develop. Question: What do you notice about the development of the legs in salamander larvae. Which legs develop first? Is this different from the anuran larvae?

- Tiktaalik is a fish that lived 375 million years ago that grew to three metres long and had aquatic features mixed with others more suited to life on land. The fossils of five Tiktaalik specimens reveal that the animals had a large, robust pelvic girdle, a prominent hip joint, and long hind fins. The powerful fins could have propelled the beast in the water, but also helped it walk on riverbeds, or scramble around on mudflats. It is believed that Tiktaalik evolved into four- legged land animals. The scientists have yet to find a Tiktaalik hind fin bone, or any remains that might shed light on the origins of toes. A picture of Tiktaalik is available at https://www.npr.org/2010/07/05/127937070/t human-edge-finding-our-inner-fish Describe how Darwin would explain that evolution of hind legs (of land animals) actually began as enhanced hind fins (of Tiktaalik), referring to his relevant observations and inferences (Lecture 02 History of Evolutionary Thought - slide 18).
