Which of the following in freshwater fish helps combat the problem of living in fresh water (osmoregulation)? Dinking much water Producing concentrated urine Producing large quantities of urine Excretion of salt ions from gills
Evolution of the Vertebrates Exercises 301 Latimeria, a modern sarcopterygian coelacanth living near Madagascar. Note the similarity of the tail to that of Eusthenopteron fossils in the previous figure. The tail is very different from that of the ray-finned fishes. This example is about 2 m long. (From Levin, H., 2013, The Earth Through Time (10 edition), figure 12-75, p. 370. This material is reproduced with permission of John Wiley & Sons, Inc.) 55. Compare the shape of the tail...
