Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So today we have that. Which of the following is not an amniotic. Remember that if an organism is not an amniotic, then it's going to be an an amniotic. Now, what are the differences between these two groups of organisms? And let me just help you recall that while omni yachts are going to lay their eggs on land or they're going to keep it within the mother. While an amniotic are going to lay their eggs on the water. Let's go over answer choices so that we can distinguish the two of them were mammals like humans keep their eggs or choose their embryos and fetuses within the mother. That is their main characteristic. So we're going to cancel this out because their amniotic then we have reptiles and AIDS which both keep their eggs on land because of this. There are also both going to be um notes and we're going to cancel them out. Looking at our answer choices. The only group of animals that keeps their eggs on the water are going to be amphibians that return to the water in order to lay eggs because of this they're going to be or an amnio. And we're going to highlight them as the final answer to our question. I really hope this helped you and I hope to see you on the next one
