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.

Why are lancelets grouped in the same phylum as vertebrates?
Lancelets share key characteristics with vertebrates such as a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, and post-anal tail during their larval stage, leading to their classification in the same phylum, Chordata, as vertebrates. This evolutionary relationship suggests a common ancestry between lancelets and vertebrates.
The vertebrate jaw first appeared in?
The vertebrate jaw first appeared in early jawless fishes, such as the now-extinct Placodermi, around 450 million years ago during the Ordovician period. This evolutionary development allowed for more efficient feeding and contributed to the success of jawed vertebrates.
