One species in this class known as tropicalis is increasingly used as a model organism because it is diploid unlike a more commonly used tetraploid species in the same genus.
One species in this class known as tropicalis is increasingly used as a model organism because it is diploid unlike a more commonly used tetraploid species in the same genus. Organisms in this class are dying off from the disease chytridiomycosis (KYE-tridd-ee-oh-my-KO-sis). Order Gymnophonia in this class contains caecilians (say-SILL-yinns), while (*) Anura contains the organism in which the gray crescent was discovered. Organisms in this class undergo a metamorphosis that often includes the development of kidneys and lungs. For 10 points, name this class that includes newts, salamanders, and frogs.
