what are viviparous animals and oviparous animals.
rn
There are 3 ways by which animals produce their young ones based on whether the
development of the zygote takes place outside the body of the female parent or inside i.e.,
whether they lay fertilized or unfertilized eggs or give birth to young ones. They are:
1. Oviparous
2. Viviparous
3. Ovoviviparous
Oviparous animals produce eggs that hatch outside the body of mother .e.g. Amphibians, birds, and most insects, fish, and reptiles etc. The eggs are covered by hard shell made up of calcium carbonate and laid in safe place in environment to protect the young ones from the predators. After a period of incubation young ones hatch out.
Viviparous animals: In these animals, the zygote develops into a young one inside the body of the female e.g. majority of mammals including humans. After attaining a certain stage of growth the young ones are delivered out of the body of the female organism. The chances of survival of young ones is quite high in these animals because the mother provides proper
embryonic care and protection to the developing embryo.
