What lays eggs in water?

Animals such as fish, amphibians like frogs and salamanders, various types of insects such as mosquitoes, and some reptiles like turtles and crocodiles lay eggs in water. These eggs require a moist environment to develop and hatch successfully.


Do dengue mosquito eggs float on water?

Yes, dengue mosquito (Aedes aegypti) eggs can float on water. Female mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, and the eggs have a unique ability to float on the water's surface due to a special coating they possess. This adaptation helps protect the eggs from drying out and allows them to hatch when conditions are suitable.


Do amphibians require dry habitats for breeding?

Not all amphibians require dry habitats for breeding. Some species, like many frogs, lay their eggs in water, while others, like salamanders, may lay their eggs in damp or moist environments. Each species has unique breeding requirements based on its environmental adaptations.


Will eggs float in dense liquids?

Yes, eggs can float in dense liquids due to the principle of buoyancy. When a liquid is denser than the egg, it can support the egg's weight, causing it to float. This is why eggs may float in liquids like saltwater or sugar water, which are significantly denser than plain water. Conversely, if the liquid is less dense, the egg will sink.
