External gills are present. Fins and balancers are present on some species. Balancers are a pair of organs on the underside of either side of the head that keeps them upright in the water. During metamorphosis the gills and fins are lost, the gill slits close, there is a modification of skin for terrestrial existence, and lungs develop. Question: What do you notice about the development of the legs in salamander larvae. Which legs develop first? Is this different from the anuran larvae? (please answer both parts)arrow_forward
- Feeding Describe how clam it consumes food, Describe how sea anemone it consumes food and Describe how sanils it consumes food.arrow_forwardHow are these animals alike to each otherarrow_forwardpome A fish species you are studying lives in both rivers and lakes. In rivers, they are skinny and long, whereas in lakes they are shorter and wider. You collect fish eggs from each location and rear the fish in an aquarium in your lab. Once they are adults, you measure their length & width and find that fish from rivers and streams have the same average length & width. Based on this study, what is the most reasonable conclusion you can make about body shape in this species? LAKE RIVER LAB Lake Lake River O Directional selection has led to the evolution of body shape in one of the populations. O Differences in body shape seen in the field are likely due to genetic drift. Differences in body shape seen in the field are due to phenotypic plasticity. O We can't make any of these conclusions based on this information alone.arrow_forward
