QUESTION 22
In most amniotes, the main site of gas exchange is the:
pharynx |

skin |
||
lungs |
1. evolved from external to internal
Explanation - The lower vertebrates anamniotes which includes fish and amphibians lay their eggs into water and the external fertilization takes place where as the higher vertebrates amniotes includes reptiles,birds and mammals either lay their fertilized egg on land or keep the fertilized egg within the female partner. Amniotes have the egg which surrounded in sac like amnion structure ,it is characteristics of the internal fertilization.
14.Vertebrates
Gnathostomes has specific hard tissue lining the cartilage known as prismatic calcified cartilage (jaw) but doesnot contain the calcified teeth.The vertebrates developed the calcified teeth first and further got more developed in the carnivores animals.The invertebrates chordates have no teeth or bones developed.
13.first osteichthyans
The first bony skeleton got appeared in the bony fish osteichthyans and it had characteristics of lobe finned and ray finned. Gnathostomes,chordates and vertebrates developed after the osteichthyans.
14.Lungs
The amniotes ,lung is the primary site for gas exchange. The cutaneous and pharyngeal respiration occurs in most of the anamniotes (fish and amphibians) .
