Question

The eggs of frogs do not have shells for protection, yet they are safe in the water. How?

Answer 1

Reproduction in frog:

1. Frog eggs are protected by a thin layer of gelatinous covering around them.
2. This gelatinous covering has a high water content that protects the eggs from drying and prevents them from being eaten up by other animals or predators.
3. A frog lays 2500-3000 eggs and these eggs are fertilized outside the female body therefore it is necessary to protect them majorly for fertilization purposes.
