After a trip to an aquarium, some students compared the tail fin of sharks with the tail fin of bony fish. The students made a chart listing characteristics of each type of tail fin.
Based on this information, what is most likely an advantage of the bony fish tail fin over the shark tail fin?
The thin spines of the tail fin prevent a bony fish from being seen by larger predator fish.
The flexible tail fin is fanned by the water, so a bony fish uses less energy to swim.
It is easier for a bony fish to change direction quickly since muscles control the movement of the tail fin.
The bones in the tail fin help a bony fish sink to lower depths in the water when searching for food.
