Amniotic eggs are characteristic of reptiles, birds, and mammals, which are collectively known as amniotes. These eggs contain a protective membrane that allows them to be laid on land, providing a suitable environment for the developing embryo. This adaptation was crucial for the successful colonization of terrestrial habitats by these groups.
What else can I help you with?
Which group does not have an amniotic egg?
Amphibians do not have an amniotic egg. Instead, they lay their eggs in water or moist environments, where the eggs develop without the protective features of an amniotic egg. This reliance on water for reproduction distinguishes them from reptiles, birds, and mammals, which all produce amniotic eggs that provide a protective environment for the developing embryo.
Does an owl have an amniotic egg?
Mammals, birds, and reptiles lay amniotic eggs, so, yes, owls have amniotic eggs. Amniotic eggs contain a yolk and aid in gas and energy exchange.
Do lobsters have amniotic eggs?
No. An amniotic egg is a bird or reptile egg, with a shell. Only vertebrates can have amniotic eggs. ^^ By extention, mammals also have amniotic eggs, but they're reduced in placental mammals (live birth). Platypi and echidnas still lay amniotic eggs though.
Does a spider lay amniotic eggs?
No, only reptiles, mammals, and birds have amniotic eggs.
Do frogs and toads have an amniotic egg?
Mammals, birds, and reptiles lay amniotic eggs, and frogs and toads are none of these, so, no, frogs and toads do not have amniotic eggs. Amniotic eggs contain a yolk and aid in gas and energy exchange.
How do the eggs in the phylum chordate differ?
they pop
What kinds of mammals lay amniotic eggs?
Monotremes lay amniotic eggs. Monotremes include just the platypus, the short-beaked echidna and the long-beaked echidna.There are two mammals that lay amniotic eggs. The two mammals that lay amniotic eggs are echidna and platypus.
Does the octopus have an amniotic egg?

Do human being have amniotic egg?
No. An amniotic egg will normally have multiple parts, like a chicken egg. An aminiotic egg also is surrounded by amniotic fluid. A fish egg is a small embryo surrounded by a protective gel like substance that is similar to a shell.
Does a squid have an amniotic egg?
No, squids do not have an amniotic egg. Amniotic eggs are characteristic of reptiles, birds, and some mammals, featuring a protective amniotic membrane. Squids belong to the class Cephalopoda and reproduce by laying eggs that are not amniotic; their eggs are typically encapsulated in a gelatinous mass and develop outside the mother's body.
What species lay amniotic eggs.?
Reptiles and birds have amniotic eggs, as well as the occasional mammal like the platypus and echidna.
What replaces the membranes and nutrition source of amniotic eggs in organisms that exhibit live birth without amniotic eggs?
allantois
