Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chondrichthyes, which includes sharks, rays, and skates, is characterized by adaptations such as squalene (a compound in their liver that helps with buoyancy), a spiral valve (a feature of their digestive system), electroreceptors (for detecting electrical fields), a lateral line system (for detecting water movements), and claspers (reproductive organs in males). These features are distinct to the Chondrichthyes lineage.
