The amphibian orders can be remembered by what they lack. Which of these choices names a group incorrectly:

Multiple Choice
a. Anurans (frogs and toads) lack tails as adults.
b. Salamanders have tails but lack the ability to be dry or in dry habitats.
c. Toads lack a larval (tadpole) stage.
d. Caecilians lack legs but look like they have lots of tail.

Answer 1

The amphibian orders can be remembered by what they lack. Salamanders have tails but are able to live in both wet and dry habitats. They have a long body, short legs, and a tail, making them well adapted for walking and swimming.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amphibian orders can be remembered by what they lack. The statement that names a group incorrectly is (b) Salamanders have tails but lack the ability to be dry or in dry habitats. Salamanders are actually able to live in both wet and dry habitats, although most species are associated with moist environments. They have a long body, short legs, and a tail, making them well adapted for walking and swimming.
