Do chondrichthyes have an amniotic egg?

No, chondrichthyes, which include sharks, rays, and skates, do not have an amniotic egg. Instead, many species of chondrichthyes reproduce through methods such as oviparity (laying eggs) or viviparity (live birth), with some species having adaptations like the development of embryos in a protective environment within the mother's body. The amniotic egg is characteristic of reptiles, birds, and some mammals, which allows for reproduction in terrestrial environments.
