Question

Early tetrapods had a sprawling gait (like that of a lizard): As the right front foot moved forward, the body twisted to the left and the left rib cage and lung were compressed; the reverse occured with the next step. Normal breathing, in which both lungs expand equally with each breath, was hindered during walking, and prevented during running. In a short essay (100-150 words), explain how the origins of organisms such as dinosaurs, whose gait allowed them to move without compressing their lungs, could have lead to emergent properties.

Explanation / Answer

they are diverse group of animals of the clade dinosauria . they appeared during triassic period.

if their lungs would have been compressed, they would loose their functional capacity.but it was not so , lungs retainede their functional capacity. which lead to the emergent properties.
