Which group of fish do scientists believe amphibians evolved from?
Lobe-finned fishes are though to have given rise to amphibians. This is due to the body plan and body symmetry of the fish, which is very similar to that of an amphibian.
What fish group gave rise to the terrestrial vertebrates?
The latest major group of vertebrates to evolve were the birds, which evolved from dinosaurs around 155 million years ago.
If fish evolved into amphibians and we still have fish today then did some fish just no evolve?
To evolve from common ancestors is the way of evolutionary processes. Not so much in a linear fashion as in a " bushy " fashion. All organisms are evolving at all times and every organism is transitional. A common ancestor of lobe finned fishes gave rise to the amphibians and the lobe finned fishes we see today. One did not proceed in a linear fashion from the other, but both arose from a common ancestor.
What type of fish most likely gave rise to amphibians?
The first step involved the lobed fined fishes, which could travel in very shallow water or possibly in mud. They were a response to very heavy predation. The second step involved the lung fishes, which could use air directly without needing to return to water to use their gills periodically. The third step was true amphibians.
Who were the first creature to come out of water?
Amphibians, which are derived from fish and gave rise to reptiles, are the first creatures to live outside of the water for portions of their lives.
Which group within kingdom protista probably gave rise to sponges?
Amoebas gace rise to sponges since the wall of sponges contain amoebocytes.
What protist functional group gave rise to terrestrial plants?
Its not chlorophyata, but some other chloro-something.
What group gave rise to hominids?
Hominids are primates. Ramapithecus is one possible primate candidate for a hominid ancestor.
Why are lobe-finned fishes so important to evolutionary biologist?
They're important to evolutionary biologists because members of their group are thought to have given rise to the first four-legged land vertebrates.
Who gave rise to the apes and man?
there is no such person who specifically gave rise to them. but it is definitely the evolution of changes.
In order to rise in the water bony fishes fill their swim bladder with?
