Which of the following marine fishes are considered direct descendents of fresh water ancestors?
Correct answer: D. Bony fishes
- A. Hagfish
- B. Jelly Fish
- C. Star Fish
- D. Bony fishes
Explanation
Bony fishes are generally considered to have evolved from freshwater ancestors, although many lineages later adapted to marine environments. The likely distractor is hagfish, but hagfish belong to an ancient jawless lineage rather than being the standard example of bony fishes derived from freshwater ancestors.
