oviparous

Examples of oviparous in the following topics:

• External and Internal Fertilization

  • There are three ways that offspring are produced following internal fertilization: oviparity, ovoviparity, and viviparity.
  • In oviparity, fertilized eggs are laid outside the female's body and develop there, receiving nourishment from the yolk that is a part of the egg.
  • These animals are classified as oviparous.

• Phylum Chordata

  • Animals can be oviparous (lay eggs) or viviparous (birth live young).

• Cleavage of the Zygote

  • On the other hand, meroblastic cleavage occurs in animals whose eggs have more yolk, such as birds and oviparous reptiles (although some viviparous reptiles also exist).
