Frog: morphology and anatomy
Why this is asked: A frog breathes through three different surfaces depending on where it is — lungs in air, moist skin (cutaneous respiration) while submerged or hibernating, and the buccal lining — but fertilisation stays external, in water, which is what NEET checks against the male's nuptial pad and vocal sac (mate-attracting features, not internal-fertilisation ones).
