What is a ovaparous?

Answer 1

Oviparous refers to a mode of reproduction in which animals lay eggs that develop and hatch outside the mother's body. This reproductive strategy is common among birds, reptiles, amphibians, and many fish. The eggs contain the necessary nutrients for the developing embryos and are often protected by hard or leathery shells. Oviparous species can vary significantly in their parental care strategies after laying eggs.
