Question
Amniotes are tetrapods that have ...a) A vertebral column.b) A terrestrially adapted egg.c) Four limbs.d) Lobed fins
Solution
Amniotes are tetrapods that have a terrestrially adapted egg. This is a key characteristic that distinguishes them from other tetrapods. While they do have a vertebral column and four limbs, these are characteristics of tetrapods in general, not specifically amniotes. Amniotes do not have lobed fins; this is a characteristic of some fish and early tetrapods that led to the evolution of limbs. Therefore, the correct answer is b) A terrestrially adapted egg.
