Biology

Answer:

The ability to bring water into the gills when the mouth is closed would benefit a bottom dwelling shark or ray, because it would allow them to be more discreet when in the process of catching prey and they would be able to stop swimming. Most sharks have to continuously swim or else they would sink, while being able to bring water into the gills when the mouth is closed would highly benefit them and allow them to stop swimming for a moment.

Explanation:

I am not 100% sure this is the correct answer, but I am currently doing a lab on this, so I am using the knowledge I previously had and online resources. I am pretty confident though.

Where should the origin of the swim bladder be placed on the phylogenetic tree?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

At the base of Actinopterygii

*This is a unique characteristic of this group.

Explanation:

A peculiar characteristic organ observed in ray-finned fish (as well as in Sarcopterygii, or lobe-finned fish) but not in cartilaginous fish like shark is the swim bladder.

This organ is often described to be a sac containing gas. It helps these set of fish adjust its buoyancy and its position in the water by regulating the concentration of gas present in it.

The swim bladder is formed as a pouch coming off the embryonic digestive tract, and in chondrosteans and holosteans, with a set of teleosts e.g. the eels, it maintains an open pathway to the esophagus. In majority of the bony fish, the swim bladder is totally sealed off, as gas levels in their swim bladder are regulated by producing gas into the bladder via a network of capillaries, the rete mirabile (Latin word for "marvelous net").

The swim bladder is homologous to the lungs of tetrapods. Since they are formed in the same vein. Few fishes that have an open swim bladder employs it as a breathing organ.
