what function does the limb serve in each animal? How are the limb bones of the four animals similar? Based on these similarities, what can be inferred about the evolution of the four animals?

The function of the limb is to help them get around and move. They might be similar in the way they’re structured? I don’t have a picture so I can’t tell. And you can assume that at one point these four animals all shared a common ancestor. Hope I helped!

The function the limb serve in each animal

Most animals use limbs for locomotion, such as walking, running or climbing and swimming.

Some animals can use their forelimbs (which are homologous to arms in humans) to carry and manipulate objects,

while some can use them to achieve flight.

Some animals can also use hind limbs for manipulation.

How are the limb bones of the four animals similar:

These four animals we are referring to here are known as tetrapods. They are vertebrates that have, or had, four limbs and include all amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

How they are similar below:

All tetrapod limbs are made up of similar sets of bones.

In some species, such as whales and snakes, some limbs have been lost or radically altered as these animals evolved over time.

The inference about the evolution of the four animals below:

Major developments that occurred within these animals ( Amphibians, Reptiles, Aves and mammals ) include bilateral symmetry, true tissue and organ systems, a body cavity, a centralized nervous system, a complete digestive system, a segmented body plan, and a notochord.
