Amniotic eggs do not necessarily need to be laid in water; rather, they are adapted to be laid in a variety of environments. However, many species that lay amniotic eggs, like reptiles, may choose moist environments to prevent the eggs from drying out, as the eggs are still vulnerable to desiccation. The amniotic membrane provides protection and helps retain moisture, but a humid environment can further ensure the embryo's development is supported. Thus, while water is not strictly necessary, it can provide a more favorable environment for egg survival and development.
Eggs laid by mammals, birds and reptiles. They have a membrane that contains fluid. There is amniotic fluid around the embryo. It also has a protective shell that provides air to pass through.
amniotic eggs
Parrot eggs are either fertile when they are laid or they are not fertile when they are laid. They have to be fertile and properly incubated in order to hatch.
Not all animals have placentas because they lay eggs instead. Only mammals have placentas by the way. Other animals use eggs and amniotic eggs.
advantages: gas exchange is possible via the chorion, there isn't a larval stage, the egg offers some protection disadvantages: must be laid on land, stationary / must be protected from predators
When angelfish lay eggs and you need to remove them for safety or breeding purposes, gently scrape them off the surface using a flat tool, like a credit card. Be careful not to damage the eggs, and transfer them to a separate, prepared tank where water conditions are similar to the main tank. Monitor the eggs closely for signs of fungus or contamination during their incubation period.
The amniotic egg is the feature present in reptiles and absent in amphibians that freed reptiles from dependence on water for reproduction. The amniotic egg has protective membranes and allows reptile embryos to develop on land, reducing the need for water for reproduction.
well no the eggs need warmth and protection.
of course they will not hatch they need they're warmth from their mothers.
Because the eggs need to be in a place far enough away from water so the eggs can develop, yet close enough for the young turtles to return to the sea once they hatch. If they were laid far inland, there would be more opportunities for predators to pick off the young as they made their way to the water.
Turtles are not fish. The eggs are fertilized when the turtles mate, if a female lays eggs before mating then the eggs will be unfertilized and will never get fertilized.
No. All eggs need specific conditions to begin development. Incubation starts at a certain temperature and humidity level.
