Question

Which implication might be drawn from the fact that all prehistoric and

modern flying vertebrates developed similar structures to support their
successful flight capabilities?

A. Pterosaurs, birds, and bats evolved directly from a single species of reptile. Their identical flight structures developed sequentially from the pterosaurs to the bat.

B. Pterosaurs, birds, and bats may have developed similar structures independently of each other. All of the forces are consistent in the development of flight.

C. Pterosaurs, birds, and bats developed over time in identical ecosystems and environments. These environments influence the forces of flight for
these animals.

D. Pterosaurs, birds, and bats developed flight at the same time. This was their single effective adaptation for locating and trapping prey.

Answer 1

A. Pterosaurs, birds, and bats evolved directly from a single species of reptile. Their identical flight structures developed sequentially from the pterosaurs to the bat.
