Which of the following is correct sequence regarding evolution of reptile - 1.Lizard - >crocodile-> snake - >Tuatara 2.Crocodile - >snake - >Tuatara - >lizard 3.Tuatara -> lizard -> snake - >crocodile 4.Lizard - >Tuatara - >snake -> crocodile
Option number 3 that is Tuatara -> Lizard -> Snake -> Crocodile is the correct answer. Tuataras are reptiles endemic to New Zealand and Lizards were evolved from Tuatara only. The snakes are close relatives of the lizards. However, they lack external ear openings and movable eyelids.
Thank you.
