Chapter 34, Problem 9TYU
Summary Introduction

To evaluate: The origin of emergent properties in the organisms such as dinosaurs, who were able to move without compressing their lungs as compared to the emergent tetrapods that had a sprawling trait.

Introduction:

Early tetrapods moved like a fish, but with legs. That movement restricted their lung capacity. On the other hand, dinosaurs could move without compressing their lungs, which helped them in better respiration.

Students have asked these similar questions
Morphological analogs are structures having similar functions but different origins.  For example, the wing of an airplane and a wing of a bird are analogous but certainly have different origins.  Name and explain the comparisons of THREE ideas that humans have borrowed from plants and animals to use in building structures and making materials.
Imagine you come across a gelatinous structure. Determine whether it is a cnidarian or ctenophore? Give two distinct differences between the two without naming the same structure/invisible features of each animal (e.g animal x has 2 wings, animal y has 4 wings are not distinct differences)
Then answer the following questions: 1. Describe one characteristic you see in organism 3 which might have had an advantage over organism 2. 2. How might these fossils provide evidence for evolution?
