Question

Assume that a new species of animal has been discovered. It is an egg-laying animal that lives and reproduces on land. Explain what you know about its eggs without ever seeing them.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is "The eggs must have internal membranes".

Explanation:

Amniotes are animals that have adapted to reproduce putting eggs on land (reptiles, birds or mammals). The eggs of amniotes have internal membranes that let gases but not water pass through. This characteristics allows the embryo to breath inside the egg, and allow the egg to not dry out on land. Therefore, the eggs of the new species of animal must have internal membranes in order to allow its reproduction on land.
