Bony fish belong to Class Osteichthyes, while cartilaginous fish belong to Class Chondrichthyes. Bony fish have a bony skeleton, while cartilaginous fish have one composed mostly of cartilage. Bony fish have body coverings of scales, while cartilaginous fish are covered with dendritical projections (think shark skin).
Bony fish are found in fresh and salt water; cartilaginous fish are found only in salt water. Bony fish have gills covered by an operculum; cartilaginous fish have gill slits. Bony have no eyelids; the cartilaginous fish do. Bony fish have an air-filled swim bladder; cartilaginous fish have an oil-filled liver to keep them bouyant. Hope this helps! Whew!

According to the principle of _______, a change in one species in a community results in a change in another.
Monica [59]

The correct answer is coevolution.

The term is used to illustrate the conditions where two or more species communally influence each other’s evolution. For example, an evolutionary modification in the morphology of a plant may influence the morphology of a herbivore that consumes it, this, in turn, may influence the evolution of the plant that might influence the evolution of the herbivore and so on.

Coevolution most possibly takes place when distinct species have a close ecological association with each other. These ecological associations include parasite/host and predator/prey, mutualistic species, and competitive species.
