Discuss the development of reptiles from amphibians. What changes were necessary to allow
reptiles to remain on land all the time? Why did this change allow access to many new
environments for the reptiles to occupy? What will be an ideal response?
The most important change was the development of the amniote egg. This egg allowed reptiles
to reproduce on land without needing to return to the water. Hence, reptiles were not required to
remain close to water bodies and could inhabit a variety of new inland environments.
