Biologists
________ classify amniotes in two main groups: diapsids and synapsids.
Jaws
________ and paired fins are absent in both hagfishes and lampreys.
Tiktaalik
________ was a transitional form between fishes and tetrapods.
Hemichordates
________ (acorn worms) are marine deuterostomes with a three- part body, including proboscis, collar, and trunk.
Echinoids
________ lack arms; they have a solid shell and are covered with spines.
Mammals
________ have hair, mammary glands, differentiated teeth, lungs with alveoli, completely divided ventricles, and three middle- ear bones.
Eutherians
________ are more developed at birth than marsupials; they are characterized by a well- developed placenta, an organ of exchange that develops between the embryo and the mother.
Synapsids
The ________ include the therapsids, which gave rise to the mammals.
Class Holothuroidea
________ consists of sea cucumbers, animals with elongated flexible bodies.
Amphibians
________ use their moist skin as well as lungs for gas exchange.
Class Asteroidea
________ consists of the sea stars.
Birds
________ have many adaptations for powered flight, including feathers; wings; and light, hollow bones containing air spaces.
Vertebrates
________ have pronounced cephalization, a complex brain, a muscular pharynx, and muscles attached to the endoskeleton.
Class Ophiuroidea
________ includes the brittle stars, which resemble sea stars but have longer, more slender arms that are set off more distinctly from the central disc.
Lancelets
The ________ are cephalochordates, small, segmented, fishlike animals; their chordate characteristics are highly developed.
Petromyzontida
The ________, have neither jaws nor paired fins.
Monotremes
________ lay eggs.
oral surface of crinoids
The ________ is turned upward; some crinoids are sessile.
Neural crest cells
________ are embryonic cells important in the development of many structures, including the cranium and jaws.
central disc
They have a(n) ________ with five or more arms, and they use tube feet for locomotion.
Chondrichthyes
The ________ comprise the sharks, rays, and skates; they are jawed fishes with skeletons of cartilage.
Hagfishes
________ are marine scavengers that secrete slime as a defense mechanism.
jaws
They have ________, two pairs of fins, and placoid scales.
Vertebrates
________ can be assigned to nine classes.
Shared derived characters include
radial, indeterminate cleavage; the blastopore becomes (or is near the future site of) the anus; and pharyngeal slits at some time in the life cycle
The chordates (Phylum Chordata) include three subphyla
Urochordata, Cephalochordata, and Vertebrata
The extant (living) bony fishes can be assigned to three classes
Actinopterygii, ray finned fishes; Actinistia, coelacanths; and Dipnoi, lungfishes
During the Devonian period, bony fishes gave rise to two evolutionary lines
th Actinopterygii, or ray-finned fishes, and the Sarcopterygii, or lobe-finned fishes
Biologists classify amniotes in two main groups
diapsids and synapsids
