Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

Loggerhead turtles spend most of their life in the ocean. Adult female loggerheads go ashore briefly to lay their eggs in the sand. Then they return to the water and leave the eggs to hatch on their own. Figure below shows baby loggerheads on a beach shortly after hatching. The baby turtles must make their way back to the water, hopefully without being snatched up by a predator. Loggerhead turtles are reptiles. Unlike amphibians, turtles and other reptiles can lay their eggs on dry land. That’s because they produce amniotic eggs. Amniotic eggs have waterproof membranes to prevent them from drying out.


Q: Laid on dry land by reptiles, amniotic eggs have what that prevents them from drying out?


A:
waterproof membranes
