Chapter 32.7, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The groups of animals that are included in each of the two major lineages of Amniotes.
Introduction:
Amniotes are the biological group of tetrapod’s vertebrates. They lay their eggs on the land. Most reptiles, birds, and mammals belong to the amniotic family. The first amniotes were evolved from amphibians around 340 million years ago. These amniotes have been divided into two main lineages.
