multiple choice question
what amniote group is now included among the reptiles?
mammals
lungfish
amphibians
birds
Amniotes are vertebrates that have an amnion during embryonic development. Reptiles are a group of amniotes. In modern classification, birds are considered as a group within reptiles. This is because birds evolved from a group of reptiles (theropod dinosaurs). Mammals are a separate group of amniotes that have different evolutionary lineages compared to the main reptile group (in the broader sense including birds). Lungfish are not amniotes (they are fish). Amphibians are also not amniotes.
