Question

Snakes cannot shed their skin.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The cornified cells form the epidermal layer of the skin in the reptile-like snakes. This layer of skin is shed at regular intervals. This process is known as molting or shedding of the skin. The basal layer of cells transforms into cornified cells. The cells become eventually thick, inflexible, and scaly to provide protection.

The given statement is false.
