Traditionally, zoologists have placed birds in their own class, Aves. More recently, molecular evidence has shown that birds are

more closely related to reptiles than their anatomy reveals. Genetically, birds are more closely related to crocodiles than crocodiles are to turtles. Thus, bird anatomy has become highly modified as they have adapted to flight, without their genes having undergone nearly as much change. Taxonomically, what should be done with the birds?
A: The rest of the reptiles should be reclassified as a subclass within the class Aves.
B: Birds should be reclassified, and their new taxon should be the subclass Aves. Genetic similarity trumps morphological dissimilarity in cases where morphological traits are uninformative.
C:The classification scheme should remain the same because of historical precedence.
D: The traditional stance is correct. Such dramatic morphological change as undergone by birds indicates that birds should be placed in their own order, separate from the reptiles.

Why do cells separated from an embryo which undergoes autonomous specification continue to develop along predetermined pathways?
wariber [46]

Answer:

By the process of cellular differentiation which consists of physical and functional changes of the cell used by processes at the genetic level. The expression of these in each type of cell is different. That is to say that the type of cell follows at a time of development there is differential activation of some genes and repression of others
