Clarify Question
· What is the key concept addressed by the question?
         o This question addresses the amniotic egg.
· What type of thinking is required?
         o This question is asking you to analyze the information given, using logic, to dissect the problem and determine the answer.

Gather Content
· What do you already know about the amniotic egg?
         o Amphibians’ eggs must be laid in water or a moist setting to avoid drying out. Most reptiles lay watertight eggs that contain a food source (the yolk) and a series of four membranes: the yolk sac, the amnion, the allantois, and the chorion. Each membrane plays a role in making the egg an independent life-support system. All modern reptiles, as well as birds and mammals, show exactly this same pattern of membranes within the egg. These three classes are called amniotes.
         o The outermost membrane of the egg is the chorion, which lies just beneath the porous shell. It allows exchange of respiratory gases but retains water.
         o The amnion encases the developing embryo within a fluid-filled cavity.
         o The yolk sac provides food from the yolk for the embryo via blood vessels connecting to the embryo’s gut.
         o The allantois surrounds a cavity into which waste products from the embryo are excreted.

Choose Answer
· Given what you now know, what information and/or problem solving approach is most likely to produce the correct answer?
         o The function of the chorion is to allow gases to pass in and out of the egg, but to retain water, So if there was a problem with the chorion, the embryo would either suffocate or dehydrate.

Reflect on Process
· Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable result?
         o The question required you to analyze the information given, using logic, to dissect the problem and determine the answer.
         o Did you recognize that the chorion is the outermost membrane of the amniotic egg, and it allows gas in and out but keeps water in?
