posses the same homologous trait are the lizard and turtle. Even though lizards and turtles are both reptiles, they look different. Most people are not aware that turtles have tails because they tend to hide it. Dinosaurs are said to be common ancestors of reptiles and they also had similar traits,like the tail.

The salamander's tail is analogous trait to the lizard and turtle's tail because it is an amphibian. One common ancestor for an amphibian who possesed a tail was a Labyrinthodontia.

This is really interesting! I never would've realized that a turtle and a lizard are linked.I also never knew that turtles had tails! You used very cool and unique species,and I definitely learned something from reading your post.
ReplyDeleteGood post. I had no idea that turtle had tails. It does make sense that turtles are descendants of dinosaurs.

ReplyDeleteVery intreasting post, I have a lizard just like what you posted, but mine is grey with a few spots of orange. The thing is she likes to bite everytime you touch her. I also like the picture of your turtle its interesting, I never knew a turtle would have such a long a tail.
ReplyDeleteThis trait works for the homology, but the common ancestor of reptiles and amphibians was an earlier amphibian, who also had a tail (I'm having trouble coming up with an amphibian who doesn't have a tail... is there one?)
