What are carniorous plants?
a carnniverous plant eats flies, bugs or insects. much like a venus fly trap. (best example) i think.
What are carniores?
A carniorous plants are plants that eat insects and other stuff (not people)
Is a stegosaurus a carnivore or herbivore?
The Giganotosaurus was a carnivore.
What is the first mammals?
There is some debate about this, actually. No one really knows for sure what the first mammal was, but there are two top contenders for the title: the Megazostrodon and the Morganucodon. Both are believed to have lived around 200 million years ago and the species are closely related.
What is most likely the common ancestor of mammals?
The Mammal-like Reptiles, or Therapsids first appeared about 285 million years ago near the begiining of the Permian which is well before the dinosaurs. They evolved quickly and many different groups arose. They were very successful until about the end of the Permian, about 245 million years ago, when something catastrophic affected the earth and nearly all of the species then living died out. New species evolved rapidly to fill this empty habitat, among them the first dinosaurs and a few million years later the first mammals.The first mammal may never be known, but the Genus Morganucodon and in particular Morganucodon watsoni, a 2-3 cm (1 inch) long weasel-like animal whose fossils were first found in caves in Wales and around Bristol (UK), but later unearthed in China, India , North America, South Africa and Western Europe is a possible contender. It is believed to be between 200 MYA and 210 MYA. However Gondwanadon tapani reported from India on the basis of a single tooth in 1994 may be an earlier contender for the title, with a claimed date of 225 MYA.Early amniotes split into two groups: the sauropsids and the synapsids. The sauropsids have evolved into modern birds and reptiles, and synapsids have evolved into modern mammals. Synapsids split into various groups, one of which was the therapsids. All living mammals do come from therapsids, but synapsids are considered the common ancestor or mammals.
What did mammals evolve from?
Reptiles evolved some 320 million years ago from amniote ancestors, specifically from advanced reptiliomorph labyrinthodons. They were among the first vertebrates to successfully sever their ancestral tie to water, as they developed impermeable skin and a mode of reproduction that did not depend upon a body of water (internal fertilization coupled with the amnion, a semi-permeable membrane that protects the embryo in the egg and allows for an exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, allow the developing animal to breathe).
What fossils show the evolution of man?

What was the first mammal on earth?
Haramiyavia clemmenseni It was named after geologist, Lars Clemmensen who dated the fossiles to 212 mio (late Triassic). It represents the the earliest known haramiyid, an early offspring of the multituberculates - a sister group to therian (or modern) mammals (one theory), or a group of early mammals unrelated to multituberculates (another theory). The find in Eastern Greenland, 1997 was a sensation because it represented the first haramiyid with fully preserved teeth and jaws and other body parts. These showed that the two other haramiyid genums: Haramiya and Thomasia where in fact one animal in that the teeth from these findings represented respectively the lower and upper teeth of the same animal. It also safely placed the haramiyids under the mammals because it's teeth were very mammal-like. Haramiyavia was small, agile, and it's cranium was 4 cm. It had four specialized point-crushing incisors similar to those in rodents and very complex premolars and molars designed for crushing hard food. It was a herbivore and probably seed eating. The extinction of egg-laying haramiyids and multituberculata was probably among other factors due to the competition of the placental true rodents who first appeared 40 mio years ago. With the fetus raised in the placenta of the rodents it developed much faster and the rodents therefore became more succesfull.

The lack of transitional forms of organisms in the fossil record would be?
This question makes no sense, because there are plenty of transitonal fossils. So I'm just going to list some.

What are two pieces of evidence for evolution?
1.) How gasses in space diffuse, and are not affected by gravity unless there is a big chunk of matter there, or a supernova compresses the gas (never been observed). This obviouslyproves that it is likely that the 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars out there were made by random processes and chance events.2.) That (even though) mutations have only been observed being limited to small changes within a species, they somehowcreated new organs.P.S. EVERY mutation must have happened within 10,000 years, because the sun is shrinking at about 5ft. (in diameter) every minute, and anywhere above 10,000 years, and the sun would be so big, it would fry every form of life on earth. (even though scientists insist it took millions of years)
From what animals did the wolves evolve?
The first true mammals were insectivores that appeared about 225 million years ago in the Mesozoic Era (age of dinosaurs). The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, about 66 million years ago, killed off 75% of the species of living organisms, and opened niches for mammals to proliferate and diversify.
