When eggs are deposited outside the body of the female, this is termed ____________ reproduction
Oviparous
Oviparous animals are animals that lay eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother. This is the reproductive method of most fish, amphibians, reptiles, all birds, and the monotremes.
Viviparity is the development of the embryo inside the body of the parent, eventually leading to live birth, as opposed to reproduction by laying eggs.
Ovoviviparous animals produce eggs inside their body, but then give birth to live young.
