Evidence from Connecting Link
Evidences of Evolution of Class 12
Many animals present a clear example to connect two phyla by their features hence provide evidence for the rise of one phylum from another
Connecting link Between:
- Virus – Living and non living
- Blue-green algae – Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes (algae)
- Euglena – Plants and Animals
- Mastigamoeba – Rhizopoda and Flagellata
- Slime moulds – Protists and Fungi
- Proterospongia – Protozoans and Sponges
- Dicyema (Mesozoa) – Ciliates and Sponges
- Ctenophores – Radiata and Bilateria
- Flat worms – Diploblastic and Triploblastic animals
- Neopilina – Annelida and Mollusca
- Peripatus – Annelida and Arthropoda
- Chimaera – Osteichthyes and Chondrichthyes
- Latimeria – Fishes and Amphibia; (Crossopterygain) & Dipnoi (lung fishes)
- Archaeopteryx – Reptiles and Birds
- Prototherian (Monotremes) – Reptiles and Mammal
