Question

Identify the correct statements associated with fertilisation in organisms.

• A. External fertilisation occurs in humans.
• B. Both $A\text{and}B$ are correct.
• C. Neither $A\text{nor}B$ is correct.
• D. Internal fertilisation occurs in fishes.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Neither $A\text{nor}B$ is correct.

Fertilisation refers to the process of the fusion of the male and female gametes, resulting in the formation of a zygote.

Fertilisation can take place in two manners:

(i) Internal fertilisation: The fertilisation occurs inside the body of the organism.
Example: Humans

(ii) External fertilisation: The fertilisation occurs outside the body of the organism.
Example: Frogs and fishes

Thus, neither of the statements are correct.
