biology 1 can you please help me with this questions from chapter 32 33 and 34 of campbel 8th edition ?






.  Using the choices listed as 1 – 4, match the events listed below with the eras in which they occurred. Choices may be used once, more than once or not at all.
1. Neoproterozoic Era   3. Mesozoic Era          2. Paleozoic Era   4. Cenozoic Era

------- Origin of wings for flight
------- Cambrian explosion
--------Cooling of global climate
--------- Mass extinctions of flightless dinosaurs
--------- Vertebrates made the transition to land and diversified
--------- Ediacaran biota

Based on the two phylogenetic trees above, list five points of agreement and four points of disagreement between the two trees. Briefly explain each in your own words (please use point form).

please explain the points of agreement and points of disagreement

  What evidence is used to separate these phyla (e.g. Annelids, Arthropods, and Molluscs) from the Echinoderms and Chordates?

 List 3 major changes in structure and function that are seen in terrestrial animal groups as compared with aquatic animal groups?   Explain how each of these changes conferred advantages to animals as they moved onto land.

Not too sure about these either, I guess for Compare three aspects of the early development of a squirrel (a chordate) and a garden snail (a mollusk) you could start by looking up how the different types develop, i.e.:

Chordates

During their embryonic development, all chordates pass through a stage called the pharyngula [View] with these features:

Rightwards Arrow a dorsal, tubular nerve cord ("1") running from anterior to posterior. At its anterior end, it becomes enlarged to form the brain.
Rightwards Arrow a flexible, rodlike notochord ("2") that runs dorsal to the digestive tract and provides internal support. In vertebrate chordates, it is replaced by a vertebral column or backbone long before maturity.
Rightwards Arrow pairs of gill pouches. These lateral outpocketings of the pharynx are matched on the exterior by paired grooves. In aquatic chordates, one or more pairs of gill pouches break through to the exterior grooves, forming gill slits ("3"). These provide an exit for water taken in through the mouth and passed over the gills.
Rightwards Arrow a tail that extends behind the anus

We have legs, they don't. We have enclosed lungs (as do whales), but fish don't. We excrete urea (or uric acid in birds), they excrete ammonia.
