Discus the phylogenetic importance in archeopteris ?​

Answer»

ANSWER:

Archaeopteryx shares the features of both reptiles and birds. Its REPTILIAN features are the presence of teeth in jaws, a long tail with free caudal vertebrae, and a weak and keel-less sternum. Its avian CHARACTERS INCLUDE the presence of feathers on the body, forelimbs MODIFIED into wings and four foes in foot adapted for perching. This suggests that birds have evolved from reptilian ancestors.
