Eggs laid in water or on land face various environmental challenges that can hinder their development. In water, eggs may be susceptible to predation, water quality issues, and fluctuating temperatures, which can affect survival rates. On land, eggs may encounter desiccation, temperature extremes, and increased risk of predation by terrestrial animals. Additionally, the specific reproductive adaptations of species influence the success of egg development in these environments.
What else can I help you with?
Do fish lay their eggs in water?
Yes, most fish lay their eggs in water. This is because fish require water for their eggs to hatch and develop. The water helps protect the eggs and provides the necessary oxygen and nutrients for the developing embryos.
Why human egg is smaller than hens egg?
Human eggs are smaller than hen's eggs because they have different functions. Human eggs are designed for fertilization and subsequent implantation in the uterus, while hen's eggs are meant to provide nutrients for a developing chick. Therefore, the size difference is due to their respective biological purposes.
What do developing Siamese fighting fish eat inside their eggs sacks?
The developing fish inside the eggs eat the eggs.
Why do frogs species enter water to reproduce?
Frogs' eggs, or frogspawn, need water or they will dry out and die. The eggs of a frog do not have a solid, protective covering like birds' eggs or reptiles' eggs do, so laying them in water preserves the developing tadpole from dehydration.
What is in an egg that makes it floats?
Increasing the air cell (in time, for unfresh eggs) of the eggs lead to floating in water, because the density of the egg become smaller than the density of water.
Why fish is better chance to be fertilized?
This is because a large number of eggs are released into the water by female fish which the male fish fertilize externally. Therefore, the number of fertilized eggs is high but the percentage chance of fertilisation is as usual.
Can fish eat other fish eggs?
For fresh water fish, have not seen this here in Brazil. Fish do not leave the water but if an egg enters the water, only God knows if the fish will attack it. If it is covered with chicken feces, good chance that a bigger fish will hit it, eventually breaking it. But for a general answer, I know of no fish that comes out of the water, and eats eggs. Now a fox, and other animals will steal eggs.
How does a sea sponge attract mates?
They don't. Sperm and eggs are just sprayed into the water and mix by chance.
Where and how do mayflies lay their eggs?
Mayflies typically lay their eggs in or near water bodies, such as rivers, streams, and ponds. The females deposit their eggs on the surface of the water, submerge them in aquatic vegetation, or attach them to rocks and other submerged surfaces. Some species even lay their eggs directly in the water, where they float until they hatch. This process ensures that the eggs are in an optimal environment for the developing nymphs.
Will chlorine kill frog eggs?
Yes, chlorine can kill frog eggs. It is important to avoid exposing frog eggs to chlorine or other harmful chemicals to protect the health of the developing embryos. If frog eggs are in an area treated with chlorine, they should be relocated to a safe environment.
Do eggs start developing the day they are hatched or when they are put in an incubator?
Fertile eggs start developing when the hen starts setting, or when they are put in an incubator.
What color are developing eggs in the female frog body?
answerthe eggs are white
