The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the similarities between Pisces (fishes) and frogs, we can analyze the characteristics of both groups. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Pisces and Frogs**: - Pisces refers to fish, which are aquatic animals with gills and fins. - Frogs are amphibians, which can live both in water and on land. 2. **Identifying Common Characteristics**: - Both fishes and frogs are cold-blooded animals, meaning they cannot regulate their body temperature internally. - They both reproduce by laying eggs, but the environment for egg-laying differs. 3. **Examining the Options**: - **Poikilotermic**: This term refers to organisms that cannot regulate their body temperature. Both fishes and frogs are poikilothermic. - **Amniots**: This group includes animals that lay eggs with protective membranes, typically on land. Fishes and frogs do not fall into this category as they lay eggs in water. - **Tetrapods**: Frogs are tetrapods (four-limbed), but fishes do not have limbs, so this option does not apply to both. - **Pentadactyl**: This refers to having five digits on limbs, which applies to frogs but not to fishes. - **Anamniots**: This term refers to animals that do not have an amniotic egg, which is true for both fishes and frogs as they lay eggs in water. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct similarity between Pisces and frogs is that they are both **poikilothermic** and **anamniotic**. However, since the question asks for a single similarity, the best answer is that they are **poikilothermic**. ### Final Answer: Pisces and frogs are similar as they are **poikilothermic**.
