Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Concept introduction

Reptiles are aerosol animals with wings, dorsal spines, or a mixture of both on their epidermis. Alligators, scorpions, lizards, frogs, and tortoises are among them.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

According to the alphabetical sequence, assign a unique number between 1 and 14 to each animal in the list:

1=Desert tortoise

2=Olive Ridley sea turtle

..

14=San Francisco garter snake

Select the first 2-digit number in the row 111of table D

Select the relevant animal if the two-digit number is between 01and 14, otherwise ignore the number and move on to the next two-digit number.

Repeat until you obtain 3different animals and repeated numbers/animals are ignored.

Select the relevant animal if the 2-digit number is between 01and 14, otherwise ignore the number and move on to the next -digit number.

03

Part (b) Step 1 : Concept introduction

Reptiles are aerosol animals with wings, dorsal spines, or a mixture of both on their epidermis. Alligators, scorpions, lizards, frogs, and tortoises are among them.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

According to the alphabetical sequence, assign a unique number between 1and 14to each animal in the list:

1=Desert Tortoise 2=Olive Ridley sea turtle San Francisco garter snake, number 14

Select the first two-digit number in table D's row 111

If the 2-digit number is between 01and 14, then select the corresponding animal, else ignore the number and move on to the next 2-digit number

Repeat until you obtain 3different animals and repeated numbers/animals are ignored

The selected reptiles are

Blunt-nosed leopard lizard

Flat-tailed horned lizard

Coachella Valley fringe-toad lizard.
