Birds are the last living relatives of the dinosaurs. We have discussed several lines of data that suggest this (both fossilized and experimental). Design an experiment of your own to test this hypothesis using the scientific method, starting with your question, to your hypothesis, through your experimental design, through what data you would collect and compare to reach your conclusion.
Answer- the hypothesis will be such as the birds and dinosaur belongs to same lineage and the dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds lineage
the design of experiment should consist the comparison between the physiological and anatomical characteristics of the birds and the dinosaur.
