What are amniotic eggs?
Amniotic eggs are eggs laid by reptiles, birds, and some mammals that have a protective shell and specialized membranes to provide nutrients, remove waste, and help with gas exchange for the developing embryo. These eggs allow for reproduction on land, as they do not need to be laid in water like amphibian eggs.

When the angelfish lays the eggs and you remove them off the spot where they were laid?
When angelfish lay eggs and you need to remove them for safety or breeding purposes, gently scrape them off the surface using a flat tool, like a credit card. Be careful not to damage the eggs, and transfer them to a separate, prepared tank where water conditions are similar to the main tank. Monitor the eggs closely for signs of fungus or contamination during their incubation period.
The feature present in reptiles and absent in amphibians that freed reptiles from dependence on water for reproduction is?
The amniotic egg is the feature present in reptiles and absent in amphibians that freed reptiles from dependence on water for reproduction. The amniotic egg has protective membranes and allows reptile embryos to develop on land, reducing the need for water for reproduction.

Why do turtles lay their eggs on the shore and not anywhere else?
Because the eggs need to be in a place far enough away from water so the eggs can develop, yet close enough for the young turtles to return to the sea once they hatch. If they were laid far inland, there would be more opportunities for predators to pick off the young as they made their way to the water.
Does a female turtle egg need to be fertalized by a male after laid?
Turtles are not fish. The eggs are fertilized when the turtles mate, if a female lays eggs before mating then the eggs will be unfertilized and will never get fertilized.
Do quail eggs start developing when they are first laid?
No. All eggs need specific conditions to begin development. Incubation starts at a certain temperature and humidity level.
