Vertebrates that use internal fertilization tend to produce fewer eggs because almost all of their eggs are fertilized. With animals that use external fertilization, a number of eggs are never fertilized. With some animals like oysters, the males release a tremendous amount of sperm and the females release a tremendous number of eggs, but it is hit or miss if n egg will be fertilized as it floats along. A woman only needs to produce one egg to get pregnant. She can look after that baby for a few years before she gets pregnant again. just as many oysters as children are likely to survive to adulthood.

Differentiate between internal and external fertilization?

Internal fertilization occurs inside the female's body, where sperm fertilizes the egg, while external fertilization occurs outside the body, usually in water, where eggs are fertilized by sperm. Internal fertilization is common in land-dwelling animals, while external fertilization is common in aquatic animals. Additionally, internal fertilization provides better protection for the developing embryos compared to external fertilization.

How do most animals reproduce and what are the common methods they use?

Most animals reproduce sexually, where a male and female come together to produce offspring. Common methods include internal fertilization, where sperm fertilizes eggs inside the female's body, and external fertilization, where eggs and sperm are released into the environment to meet and fertilize outside the body.


Why does organisms that use internal fertilization produces less offspring than the ones that use external fertilization?

Because internal fertilization requires a womb and placenta to protect and nourish the growing embryos - which limits the number of offspring the mother can produce. Laying eggs outside the body means the female can potentially produce many more off-spring, and thus vastly increase the chances of the species survival.


How do animals fertilize plants?

Internal fertilization and external fertilization. Internal fertilisation means fertilize the egg inside the female's body. External fertilization is fertilize the egg after the female had lay it out. All mammals including platypus and spiny anteater do internal fertilization.

What is the difference between internal and external fertilisation in animals?

Internal fertilization is like animals having sex....the egg is fertilized on the inside. External is when the egg is fertilized on the outside (like when frogs lay eggs and they need to be fertilized before they can hatch).
