Question
Chapter 34, Problem 2IQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason how the placenta is similar to the egg of a reptile or a bird.
Introduction: Birds and reptiles both belong to the phylum Chordata. Both are vertebrates.
An amniotic egg is found in reptiles, mammals, and birds. The animal that possesses an amniotic egg is known as amniotes. Amniotic eggs have amnion that protects the embryo. The embryo is surrounded by a fluid-filled membrane called amnion and the fluid is known as the amniotic fluid.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of mammals is their mammary glands, which allow for the production of milk. Even the more primitive mammals, such as the duck-billed platypus and the kangaroo, have some type of mammary glands. However, only the placental mammals (e.g. humans, horses, dogs) have a placenta, which supports the internal development of the embryo. The most primitive mammals have no placenta and can’t support the internal development of the embryo. Describe one function of the placenta found in mammals such as humans, horses, and dogs.arrow_forward
