The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Amniotes**: - Amniotes are a group of vertebrates that develop embryos within an amnion, which is a fluid-filled sac. This group includes birds, reptiles, and mammals. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - We need to evaluate each option provided in the question to determine which statement is true for all amniotes. 3. **Option 1: Have 10 pairs of cranial nerves**: - This statement is incorrect. Amniotes actually have 12 pairs of cranial nerves, not 10. 4. **Option 2: Have two pairs of limbs**: - This statement is also incorrect. While some amniotes (like mammals) have two pairs of limbs, reptiles can have four limbs. Therefore, this statement does not apply to all amniotes. 5. **Option 3: Leisleodic eggs**: - This statement is incorrect as well. Only birds lay eggs that are considered leisleodic. Mammals typically give birth to live young, and not all reptiles lay eggs. 6. **Option 4: Internal fertilization**: - This statement is correct. Most amniotes, including birds, reptiles, and mammals, undergo internal fertilization, meaning fertilization occurs inside the female's body. 7. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is that all amniotes undergo internal fertilization. ### Final Answer: All amniotes have internal fertilization. ---
