78. Lateral line system found in fishes has been lost in Amphibia because of a.change over to herbivorous feeding b.evolution of terrestrial habit c.occurrence of metamoophosis on amphibian d.development of sturdy eggs
Correct option is D) The lateral line is a system of sense organs found in aquatic vertebrates, mainly fish, used to detect movement and vibration in the surrounding water. The regression of the neuromasts and their innervation at metamorphosis shed light as to how the lateral line system was lost with the evolutionary origin of terrestrial amniotes. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
