Feet lack claws and are often webbed. 1 in Amphibians Agent S pawn failure in amphibians occurs when spawn fails to develop properly and consequently doesn’t hatch .

Key Characteristics. Can live on land and water. Exothermic (cold-blooded). Have smooth, moist skin. Have a backbone. Have 4 limbs – distinct front and back legs. The different stages an animal or plant goes through during its life.. In plants this includes: . Pollination. Fertilisation. Fruit development. Dispersal of seeds. Germination.

Test 2: Amphibians and Reptiles:. Objective 1: Describe the characteristics of Modern Amphibians. Objective 2: Describe characteristics of the following orders: (. Apoda. , . Urodela. , . Anura. ). Give examples of each.. Amphibians are eukaryotic, heterotrophic vertebrates. They have thin, smooth, moist skin. Some of them have fish-like scales and none of them have claws.. They are ectothermic (coldblooded).. They have external gills and lungs..
