What important evolutionary step did the Cambrian period bring to organisms?
The Cambrian period was when animals evolved hard exoskeletons, probably in response to pressures from predatory animals.
Why is it important for a taxonomist to look at patterns of develpment when trying to classify animals?
I believe that it's because patterns of development differ between species.
How does the biogeography of fossils support evolutionary?
Modern plants and animals resemble fossils found in the same area.
Which field of biology deals with animals and animals life including the structure physiology development and classification of animals?
zoology
What are the major evolutionary trends among the metazoan invertebrate phyla?
Perhaps the most significant evolutionary trend among the metazoan invertebrate phyla is that of cephalization. This term refers to the development of a head, containing a brain. Another process called segmentation allowed animals to develop distinct body parts, such as legs, wings and feelers.
What evolutionary development made it possible from animals to move from the oceans to land?
development of lungs
What phlum does animals have jointed legs?
Taxonomy, spiders and insects they have jointed legs
What tips of animals have jointed legs?
arthropods.
Are otters jointed leg animals?
yes
Why was the development of two sets of paired limbs in fishes important to the evolutionary development of all vertebrates?
They provided a greater range of motion, which improved survival by allowing fishes to catch more prey and avoid predators. They enabled animals to increase the accuracy and speed of their movements.
As you list animals from simple to complex the first animals with jointed appendages would be the?
arthropods
Where can clues in the evolutionary relationships of animals be found?
Clues can be found out about the evolutionary relationships of animals by studying fossil records.
A jointed exoskeleton is characteristic of?
animals within the phylum Arthropoda
What important evolutionary step did the Cambrian period bring to organisms?
The Cambrian period was when animals evolved hard exoskeletons, probably in response to pressures from predatory animals.
What chemical element was important in the development of multicellular animals?
I believe it is Carbon.
What involves the application of evolutionary principles to the behavior of animals and humans?
The behavior of animals and humans can be studied with an evolutionary lens. This allows scientists to determine why certain behaviors were beneficial in evolutionary terms.
Which animal has jointed limbs?
Actually, no animal on the planet has joined limbs unless they are deformed.
