May 30, 2020 | Education
| 1) the ancestors of amphibians lived in fresh water bodies, in the coastal zone, and coelacanth is adapted to life in the depths of salt bodies of water (ocean);
2) the ancestors of amphibians could breathe atmospheric oxygen with the help of the lungs, and coelacanth with atmospheric oxygen does not breathe;
3) the ancestors of amphibians could move along the bottom of the reservoir using paired fins, coelacanth using paired fins can only swim in the water.
