Today in class we went over what independent variables, dependent variables, constants, and controls. After that, we took a quiz on these concepts. Next we talked about the importance of fava beans and how favism is an enzyme deficiency that is found in both humans and fava beans. This shows evidence for the possibility of fava beans having similar traits as humans. Once we had concluded the discussion, we chose our animal to research for the paleo project which required us to create a transition fossil. My partner and I chose to do the the Eupodophis (early snake). While researching we found this:
This is in fact a Eupodophis, which was a snake with two limbs. It lived in the late Cretaceous period, and enjoyed itself in large bodys of water.
In this photo, one can see more clearly what kind of transition was taking place while the Eupodophis was alive. We also found that it was related to the Mosasaur; a large aquatic dinosaur with four flippers:
