necessary. Include bony fish, amniotes, lizards, mammals, turtles, birds, reptiles, ray-finned fishes,
amphibians, lungfish, and lobe-finned fishes. What will be an ideal response?
Concepts to Consider: The bony fish diversified into a number of groups, including lungfish and
lobe-finned fishes, which exhibit rather primitive characteristics, and the more advanced ray-finned
fishes; the amphibians evolved from the lungfish, and the reptiles were the first amniotes and include
the turtles and lizards; the birds evolved from reptiles (dinosaurs); mammals evolved from primitive
reptiles known as therapsids.
