Which of the following class of mammals is believed to have strong resemblance with reptile?
Correct answer: C. Prototheria
- A. Meththeria
- B. Eutheria
- C. Prototheria
- D. Both eutheria and prototheria
Explanation
The class of mammals that is believed to have a strong resemblance to reptiles is "Prototheria." Prototheria includes the egg-laying mammals, such as monotremes (platypus and echidnas). These mammals have certain primitive features that resemble reptilian characteristics, such as laying eggs instead of giving birth to live young and having a cloaca (a single opening for excretion and reproduction) like reptiles. This distinguishes them from the other class of mammals.
