Vertebrate Adaptation Question One of the most significant vertebrate evolution events was the gradual movement of early vertebrates from water to land. List some of the challenges that had to be overcome to enable vertebrates to transition to land. Give two examples of how amphibians and reptiles met these challenges.
Adi S.
Outline the major adaptations that emerged during the evolution of vertebrates from fish to amphibians to reptiles to birds and mammals. Explain how these adaptations increased the fitness of the various groups for life on land.
List three adaptations that enable fishes to live in water, amphibians to live on land, snakes to live in the desert, and birds to fly.
