1
Q

How did the earliest ancestors of the fishes arise?

A

Paedomorphosis- Adult stage is progressively delayed and creature persists in the larval form
vertebrates arose from tunicate
Creatures eventually became sexually mature while still in larval form
Hence the sessile adult stage was abandoned entirely and basic body form of fishes arose

Q

What are the two key difference between cephalochordates and vertebrates?

A

Cephalochordates- small with O2 requirements that diffuse across the body surface; pharyngeal perforation for feeding
Invertebrates- perforations used as gills for O2 uptake

Vertebrates- acquisition of a cartilaginous or boney vertebral column to replace the notochord varying degrees of vertebral development among fishes.

Hagfish - tectal cartilages outside of skull
Lamprey - branchial cartilages looks like a basket

60
Q

What is the relationship of mandibular arch to neurocranium in three types of jaw suspension?

A

Neurocranium, Mandibular arch, hyoid arch
