Sea turtle- 50 chromosomes
Tortoise- 54 chromosomes
Turtle- 52 chromosomes

These three testudines' have very similar chromosomes and therefore have similar DNA structures making their evolutionary steps similar.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Type of specification- Gradual
2.Type of evolution-Coevolution
3.Evolution mechanisms-
a. Evolutionary mechanism of testudines' includes random mating among the same species, located in the same habitat.
b. Neither of these three organisms immigrate or emigrate, they either hibernate for the winter of survive naturally.

The bone structure of all three of my species is all similar.  They all consist of similar leg structures, backbone, neck, skull, and shell.  All of there shells are made of a hard protective bone to help protect the turtle and also is a part of there backbone.  They all also have a diet that consists of vegetation, and a little meat like fish or worms.

1. Turtle embryos- This shows all three of my organisms in there early stages of development, They all have similar characteristics but are all different species.

2. Fossils- These are six fossils showing the history and evolution of testudines' throughout millions of years of fossilization.

The main difference between the leatherback sea turtle, red-eared slider, and the leopard tortoise is mainly where they are located and the types of habitats they live in.  The leopard tortoise lives in dry habitats with low vegetation where the red-eared slider lives in rivers, streams, and creeks.  Then there is the leatherback sea turtle which lives in salt water.
