Question

How many ova are laid by a mature female frog at a time _____________.

• A. 3500 - 4500
• B. 2500 - 3000
• C. 1450 - 1500
• D. 500 1000

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3500 - 4500

Female frogs lay up to 4,000 eggs at a time, which are immediately fertilized by the male. Frogs become sexually mature around four years of age. They emerge from hibernation from February to March to seek out breeding grounds. Females lay their eggs in shallow water. It takes about 40 days for tadpoles to emerge from the eggs.

So, the correct answer is '3500-4500'.
