Question

Members of the class Reptilia are

• A. Homoiothermic and amniotic
• B. Homoiothermic and anamniotic
• C. Poikilothermic and amniotic
• D. Poikilothermic and anamniotic

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Poikilothermic and amniotic

Reptiles are poikilothermic or cold-blooded, i.e., their body temperature fluctuates with respect to that of the ambient temperature. They are also amniotes, as the growing embryo within their eggs are protected by a membrane called the amnion. This enables them to lay eggs on land without drying up.
