Question

Choose the incorrect statement regarding ovoviviparous organisms.

• A. They give birth to young ones
• B. The embryogenesis will occur inside the body of the female parent
• C. The embryo derives nourishment from the yolk present in the egg
• D. Egg hatches outside the body

Answer 1

The correct option is D Egg hatches outside the body

In ovoviviparous organisms, the embryogenesis occurs inside the body of the female parent. However, the developing embryo does not derive nourishment from the mother. It gets nourishment from the yolk present in the egg. The egg hatches within the body and the organism gives birth to the young ones. Shark is the most common example.
