Question

External fertilisation is characterised by sperm fertilising the egg within the female.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

In external fertilisation, the sperm cell unites with an egg cell in the external medium, rather than inside a specialised organ within the body of a parent. For example, the spawning of eggs in frogs. The sperms and the eggs are released into the water and fertilisation takes place in aquatic medium.
