Answer:

The correct answer is A: hard spines on body.

Explanation:

Cambrian explosion represents a moment in the history of life in which fauna new shapes appeared showing mineralized exoskeleton. The term "mineralized exoskeleton"  refers to a hard structure that supports and protects the body,  covering the soft parts. These skeletons are made of minerals that make them harder and more resistant. The development of these structures more rigid and resistant to natural destruction was a huge triumph.

One of the principal characteristics in the Cambrian explosion was then the diversification of organisms that presented plaques, shells, and other hard parts.

Some of the first fossils in appearing are some little skeletal plaques, <u>spines</u>, tubs, and shells. Among these are spicules of some sponges and shells of some brachiopods.

Members of Chondrichthyes are thought to be descended from fishes that had ________.
ella [17]

The correct answer is B. A bony skeleton

Explanation:

In biology, Chondrichthyes are mainly marine jawed fishes that have cartilage skeletons rather than bone skeletons and also they have paired fins, this includes animals such as rays and sharks. In terms of origin, it is believed this type of fishes are mainly linked to placoderms that were a type of primitive fish that lived during the Devonian period that had a body skeleton as they were covered by hard structures called plates made of bone. Because of this, it is believed this structures evolved into less rigid ones made of cartilage although both the primitive fish and modern Chondrictyles share features such as the structure of jaws. Therefore, Chondrictyles descended from fishes that had a bony skeleton.
