Q

are chondrichthyes the most acestral group of gnathostomes

A

no: placoderms

21
Q

osteichthyes meaning and examples

A

“bony fish”
ray-finned fish (actinopterygii) and lobe-fins (sarcopterygii)

22
Q

why are actinopterygii and sarcopterygii included in osteichthyans

A

posess swim bladder for buoancy

23
Q

what features do osteichthyans and chondrichthyans share

A

jaws, scales, gills, paired fins, ectothermal, direct development, oviparous (eggs that hatch after being laid)

24
Q

how do chondricthyans and osteichthyes differ

A

C: 5-7 gills, ventral mouth, marine, made of tiny placoid denticles covered in sharp enamel
O: 4 gills, terminal mouth, cycloids scales, marine/freshwater

25
Q

how have the body form and colour helped ray-finned fish survive

A

colour: indicates toxicity for protection
body: better predication + protection

26
Q

two subgroups of sarcopterygii and what features do they share

A

actinistia (coelacanths) and dipnoi (lung fish)
lobed fins, paired fins that articulate with pectoral and pelvic girdles with a single bone

27
Q

why are tetrapods thought to be related to lobe-fins

A

lungs are thought to have developed from swim bladder
paired lobe fins - paired limbs covered in muscle and skin

28
Q

what is a tetrapod

A

vertebrates with four limbs with digits

29
Q

challenges tetrapods faced on land (3)

A

1: dessication
2: reproduction
3: soft eggs

30
Q

how did tetrapods adapt to live on land (3)

A

1: kentin in skin for water solubility
2: amniotic sac to keep eggs moist
3: hard-shelled eggs

31
Q

examples of amphibia

A

salamanders, frogs, toads

32
Q

what makes amphibians different from most tetrapods

A

ectotherm, unshelled eggs, aquatic stage of life cycle, gas exchange through skin

33
Q

why are amphibians affected by air and water quality

A

gas diffusion through skin - pollution can affect a wide range of its structures

34
Q

how are amniotes able to colonize land

A

no longer rely on aquatic life stage, amnion keeps embryo moist

35
Q

4 components of amniotic eggs

A
  1. amnion (protection)
  2. allantois (waste disposal)
  3. chorion (gas exchange)
  4. yolk sac (nutrients, covers yolk)
36
Q

additional adaptations of amniotes

A

waterproof skin
endothermy

37
Q

examples of class reptilia

A

dinosaurs, snakes, lizards

38
Q

aquatic reptiles examples

A

turtles, crocodiles, lizards

39
Q

what differentiates reptiles from amphibians and mammals

A

keratinized skin, scales, ectothermy and endothermy

40
Q

why are birds considered reptiles

A

shelled eggs + other embryonic features

41
Q

are birds or crocodiles more closely related to dinosaurs

A

birds: crocodiles evolved after bird ancestors

42
Q

what do feathers provide

A

warmth, flight mobility

43
Q

other features of birds

A

hard shelled eggs, light bones, flight muscle attachment, lungs, no teeth, hollow bones, endothermy

44
Q

bird adaptations to challenging environments

A

beak length/shape
foot structure
advanced vision

45
Q

what characteristics are unique to mammalia

A

mammary glands, hair

46
Q

what features do only mammals and birds share

A

endothermy

47
Q

difference between monotremes, marsupials, and eutharians

A

Monotremes: egg laying (platypus)
marsupial: young carried in a pouch (kangaroo)
eutharian: embryo reaches advanced stage of devlopment before birth

48
Q

why are most mammals born rather than hatched

A

protect the offspring from predators

49
Q

why are mammals considered amniotes if they dont lay eggs

A

still have an amniotic sac (membrane around fetus = placenta)
