Question
Chapter 26, Problem 14RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The way in which the snake moves by lateral undulations and to explain why this locomotion type is inefficient on surface lacking irregularities or on an unstable surface.
Introduction: The snakes are considered as a monophyletic group belonging to the order Squamata. As the limbs are absent in snakes, it uses four different types of movement patterns to move, namely lateral undulations, side-winding, rectilinear, and concertina movement.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The type of locomotion that would help the snake to move on surface lacking irregularities or on an unstable surface.
