Solution

  • The fusion of male and female gamete in an external environment (water bodies) is called external fertilization.
  • The gametes (sperms and egg) are released into the environment in a large amount into the water bodies.
  • In fishes, the eggs from female fishes are released into the water and male fish releases its sperms.
  • The sperms swim in water and come in contact with the eggs and fertilizes the egg.
