Answer 1

I have the same question on my frog diction worksheet. The question you are probably asking and to lazy to type it is: During one mating of frogs, the female lays some 2,000 to 3,000 eggs in water as the male sheds millions of sperm over them. How do these large numbers relate to the frog's fitness for life in water? i put down a lot of the frogs probably don't make it so they are a predator when they are a tadpole in the water.

For some frogs

Depending on the species of frog, frogs can lay up to about 10 000 eggs, whilst some only lay a few thousand.

different species of frogs have different numbers of babies. the Cole's grey tree frog has 1,400 to 2,000 eggs at a time.

Answer 3

The large number of eggs being laid by frogs relate to the frog's fitness for life in water because most of the eggs won't make it. This is because they are left by the frog. The increased number of eggs gives the offspring a better chance.

Answer 4

A male frog sheds millions of sperm and female shed 2,000 to 3,000 in the water, with these numbers the survival rate increases. In water the eggs and sperm are small making them victims to be eaten by other animals, having this amount of egg and sperm increases the chance of having offspring.

Answer 5

This allows for the survival of the frog species because it ensures that some of the eggs will survive. Frog eggs are preyed upon by different animals in the water, and the large numbers relate to the frog's ability to survive in a water environment..

Answer 6

A female frog can lay from 200 to 2000 eggs, approximately- however it can vary, and various sources will tell you various figures.
2,000

Answer 7

Because many of the eggs get eaten by fish and other frogs ! The more eggs a frog lays - the better the chance that at least some will develop into adults.

Answer 8

frogs and fish lay so many eggs at one time because the preform external fertilization, and because of this all of the eggs don't get fertilized.

Answer 9

The male and female frogs with the most eggs and sperm will produce the most offspring, making them more fit than other frogs.
