Which association is mismatched?
A) chorion-gas exchange
B) amnion-blood vessels

E) yolk-nourishment
Chorion

Allantois
An extra-embryonic membrane in birds and reptiles, involved in gas exchange and waste storage during development.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The amnion is a membrane that surrounds and protects the developing embryo, but it does not contain blood vessels. The chorion is the membrane responsible for gas exchange, the allantois is responsible for waste storage, and the yolk sac is responsible for food storage and nourishment (in species that produce yolk).
