External and internal fertilization are forms of reproduction that vary in method and embryo development.

Externalfertilizationis characterized by the release of both sperm and eggs into an external environment; sperm will fertilize the egg outside of the organism, as seen in spawning.
Internal fertilization is characterized by sperm fertilizing the egg within the female; the three methods include: oviparity (egg laid outside female body) ,ovoviparity(egg held within female), and viviparity (development within female followed by live birth).
