Elan Coil [88]4 years ago

Answer:

lepidosaurs and archosaurs

Explanation:

Diapsids was a group of terrestrial vertebrates that are the ancestors of lizards, tuatuaras, crocodiles and birds. In the prehistory. The diapsids were a group that included dinosaurs, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, notosaurs, kinosaurs, prolacertiformes, and aetosaurs. During the Mesozoic period, the diapsids diverged into lepidosaurs and arcosaurs.

The Lepidosaurs gave rise to one of Reptilia's largest groups, containing more than 4,000 lizard species and 2,700 snake species, in addition to the two tuataras species. They are predominantly terrestrial tetrapods, with some secondary aquatic species, especially among snakes.

Archosaurs, also known as Avesuchia, are a group of reptiles that stand out from the rest for their current and past importance. It is a group that emerged at the beginning of the Mesozoic Era (Middle Triassic - ca. 235 million years ago) and quickly spread to the various continents, where they became the dominant vertebrates. Currently this group is represented by crocodilians (alligators, crocodiles and gavials) and birds. In the past, however, arcosaurs were more diverse and, in addition to crocodilians and birds, were represented by pterosaurs (flying reptiles), various forms of non-avian dinosaurs, and other lesser-known groups.

What part of the female system is the usual site of fertilization of the ovulated oocyte?.
Paul [167]

Fertilization of the egg cell by the sperm usually takes place in the fallopian tube. The fertilized egg then travels to the uterus and implants in the endometrium.

<h3>What are fallopian tubes?</h3>
  • Fallopian tubes are also called oviducts or uterine tubes. It is the passage through which the egg enters the uterine cavity from the ovary.
  • Fallopian tubes are part of the reproductive tract. They have a smooth muscle wall, an inner mucous membrane, and an outer layer of loose supporting tissue (serosa).
<h3>Why does fertilization take place in the fallopian tubes?</h3>

The fallopian tube (oviduct) regulates fertilization through sperm induction and sperm hyperactivity. Sperm induction is achieved by rheotaxis, thermotaxis, and chemotaxis. Rheotaxis is caused by tubal fluid that creates a current flow from the tubal ampulla to the tubal isthmus.
