The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "All reptiles are," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the characteristics of reptiles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reptiles**: Reptiles are a class of animals that belong to the phylum Chordata and are characterized by their scaly skin, laying of eggs, and being ectothermic (cold-blooded). 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Poikilothermal and Amniotic**: - **Poikilothermal**: This term means that reptiles cannot regulate their body temperature internally and their body temperature varies with the environment. This is true for reptiles. - **Amniotic**: Reptiles lay eggs that are surrounded by a protective membrane called the amnion. This is also true for reptiles. - **Homeothermal and Amniotic**: - **Homeothermal**: This means that the organism can regulate its body temperature internally. This is not true for reptiles; they are poikilothermal. - **Poikilothermal and Anamniotic**: - **Anamniotic**: This refers to organisms that do not have a protective membrane around their eggs. This is not true for reptiles as they are amniotic. - **Homeothermal and Anamniotic**: - This option is incorrect for the same reasons as above; reptiles are not homeothermal and they are amniotic. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that all reptiles are **poikilothermal and amniotic**. ### Final Answer: All reptiles are **poikilothermal and amniotic**. ---
