What is the difference between fertilized and embryonated eggs?

Fertilized eggs are eggs that have been fertilized by sperm, while embryonated eggs are fertilized eggs that have developed into embryos. In embryonated eggs, the embryo has started to grow and develop, while fertilized eggs are simply eggs that have been successfully fertilized.


Are all eggs fertilized in external fertilization?

No, in external fertilization, not all eggs are fertilized. The eggs are released into the environment and must be externally fertilized by sperm for fertilization to occur. Many eggs may not encounter sperm and therefore will remain unfertilized.


Do birds eggs have to be fertilized to make chicks?

No, not all chicken eggs are fertilized. Most mass-produced eggs from battery farm operations are not fertilized, as the hens live their whole lives without seeing a rooster. Roosters must mate with the female chickens in order for the hens to produce fertilized eggs. No rooster, no fertilization. Hens are able to produce fertilized eggs for 1-2 weeks from one conjugal encounter with a rooster, but it takes a few days for the rooster's sperm to begin fertilizing her eggs.


Why do hens lay eggs without yolks?

What kind of eggs do most fish lay?

Most fish lay eggs that are externally fertilized. This means that the female fish releases her eggs into the water, where they are fertilized by the male fish's sperm. The fertilized eggs then develop outside the female's body until they hatch.
