Question

Tetrapods originated in the ______________ period.
A)Permian
B)Cambrian
C)Carboniferous
D)Devonian
E)Silurian

Accepted Answer

The Devonian period is known as the "Age of Fishes" because it was during this time that the first fishes with jaws, fins, and scales appeared. This period also saw the evolution of tetrapods, which are four-limbed vertebrates that eventually gave rise to all land-dwelling vertebrates, including amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
