Explanation / Answer

1. As explained in the "Great Transformations" video, which one of the following hypotheses, explaining tetrapod evolution, is most widely accepted today?

Ans. limbs evolved in the water, allowing some tetrapods to adapt to life on land.

About 365 million years ago in the Devonian period the tetrapods made their way to land from water. So the aquatic organisms developed limbs which is considered as great transformation and this hypothesis is accepted today.
