Question

A male sea horse gives birth to its young ones.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Sea horses belong to the group of fishes. Fishes are oviparous organisms.

Oviparous organisms are those that reproduce by laying eggs. Since sea horse is also an oviparous organism, it reproduces by laying eggs. The eggs laid by a female sea horse is stored in a sac in the abdomen of a male sea horse. The eggs hatch after a time period of 40 days and the young ones can be seen to come out of the sac. That is why it seems that the male sea horse has given birth to its young ones.
