Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Amniotes are the members of tetrapods superclass, which lies in the subphylum Vertebrata of the phylum chordate. The members of this group are the first to have evolved to be capable of reproducing on land and surviving in terrestrial environment only. The members arose around 320 million years ago.
