Question
Chapter 32.7, Problem 1C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The evolutionary significance of the given animals- placoderms, lungfishes, ray-finned fishes, and Tiktaalik.
Concept introduction: The evolution of animals and particularly the evolution from aquatic animals to terrestrial is an ever going study. Majority of diversity in animal kingdom and the evolution from proterostomes to deuterostomes occurred during the Paleozoic era. Placoderms, lung fishes, ray-finned fishes and Tiktaalik are deuterostomes.
