Option D – amphibians may use their skin for gas exchange is the characteristic feature of amphibians that differs from reptiles.

Explanation:

The amphibian skin is moist, thin and marbled and supplied by blood vessels running on its surface. The moisture present in the skin dissolves the oxygen present in its surrounding which is absorbed by the blood vessels. Special glands help the amphibians to keep the skin moist.

The very thick and tough scales present on the reptiles prevent them to absorb oxygen through their skin. Hence, they breathe and respire through their lungs.

Amphibians have three-chambered heart. They do not develop amniotic eggs. Adult amphibians although spend much time on land, they breed only in water due to the absence of amniotic sac .

lana [24]

Two checkpoints during the cell cycle that regulate cell division are right before S phase and M phase.

Cell cycle checkpoints are control mechanisms necessary for proper cell division. In the cell cycle, there are two checkpoints: the G1 checkpoint and the G2 checkpoint. The G1 checkpoint is right before the S phase, and G2 checkpoint is right before the M phase.
If something is wrong at the G1 checkpoint, the cell will not enter the cell cycle. It is important to be delayed before cell enters S phase where DNA replication commences.
The G2 checkpoint is a DNA damage checkpoint and if DNA is damaged, entering the cell cycle is delayed before mitosis (M phase).
