Question
Chapter 30, Problem 13TYU
Summary Introduction
To suggest: A hypothesis for a view that segmentation evolved in three different animal clades.
Concept introduction: Animal phylogeny is the rapidly changing field for biologists. Even if the members of the animal kingdom are incredibly diverse, there are various animals sharing certain features that differentiate them from other organisms of the kingdom.

EVOLUTION CONNECTION Living members of a vertebratelineage can be very different from early members of the lineage,and evolutionary reversals (character losses) are common. Giveexamples that illustrate these observations, and explain theirevolutionary causes.
One important innovation in animals that can be seen very nearly in animals from the phylum Annelida is the evolution of segmentation. Explain reasons why segmentation may represent an evolutionary advantage for more complex animals???
How is modularity beneficial to animal specialization during the course of evolution? Illustrate your explanation with an example.

- Compare 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_forwardMammals belong to a group of amniotes known as synapsids. Three major lineages of mammals had emerged by the early Cretaceous period. In a tabulated form, compare these three lineages to illustrate their diversity in terms of: a. Embryonic developmen, b.

- This West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) is an aquaticmammal. Like amphibians and reptiles, mammals are tetrapods (vertebrates with four limbs). Explain why manatees areconsidered tetrapods even though they lack hind limbs, andsuggest traits that manatees likely share with leopards andother mammals (see Figure 26.12b). Discuss how early members of the manatee lineage might have differed from today’smanatees.arrow_forwardAlong comes Dr Phil Bell and deep in the mines of Lightning Ridge, finds an amazingly preserved pterosaur that preserves feathers. He hypothesises that this means that feathers must have evolved before the origin of dinosaurs and therefore must have been primitive.

- Some genetic studies suggest that the most recent common ancestor of Homo sapiens that lived outside of Africa spread from Africa about 50,000 years ago. Compare this date to the dates of the fossil record. Can both the genetic results and the dates ascribed to the fossils be correct? Explain and Justify.arrow_forwardMost animals show derived characteristics (character states) that differentiate them from their common ancestor (ancestral character state). However, evolution can also move in reverse, involving the change of a derived character state back to an ancestral state. Provide two examples from invertebrates of such ‘reverse evolution’ from a derived state (specialized state) back to a more ancestral character state. Make sure to use examples provided in this class.
