Because - external fertilisation is 'left to chance'. There's no guarantee that every egg laid will be fertilised by sperm. Internal fertilisation is much more successful.

Is fertilisation of a white tiger internal or external?

Fertilization of a white tiger, like all mammals, is an internal process that occurs inside the female's body. The male sperm is deposited inside the female's reproductive tract, where it fertilizes the female's eggs.


What animal group has internal fertilisation but external development?

Reptiles and birds are among the major groups of vertebrates that have internal fertilization and external development. Also included are monotremes and marsupials.


Are all eggs fertilized?

No, not all eggs are fertilized. In animal reproduction, fertilization occurs when a sperm cell combines with an egg cell to form a zygote. Eggs that are not fertilized will not develop into offspring.


Are the eggs that you get in the stores fertilized or unfertilized?

Chicken eggs are non fertilised however in rare cases some can be fertilised depending on the Hens activity with a cockeral. however in the most case, the hens never see a cockeral and so the eggs are never fertilised. Duck eggs however are fertilised. Ducks, unlike chickens, only lay eggs when they are fertilised. Hence why you may notice that the shelf life of duck eggs in a supermarket are much shorter then those of chicken eggs.


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.

What type of fertilisation does the frog do?

The frog does external fertilisation. The female frog will lay the eggs and then the male will come along and spread his sperm over the eggs. When there is a black dot in the egg it means that the egg is fertilised. I could go on about all the info but i really don't feel like it! hee-hee!


Is Chicken internal or external fertilization?

All birds, chickens included, are fertilised internally. Both the male and female birds have a cloaca. And it is through their cloaca that sperm is passed. An example of external fertilisation is the frog, the male emitting sperm onto the spawn that the female is releasing.


How are quail eggs fertilized?

The same way all eggs are fertilised - with sperm from a male.


How do chickens eggs get fertilized?

Chickens lay eggs all the time, but these are not usually fertilised. When a cockerel mates with a hen, the eggs become fertilised and then, if the hen sits on them or if they are incubated, chicks will hatch.


Are all the eggs that hen lay fertilised?

No, by a very large margin


How do salmon carry out external fertilisation?

The female fish lays a great amount of her eggs in a good, protected spot, then the male swims over it and ejects his sperm cells in a fluid. This settles down over the batch of eggs, and the sperm fertilize most if not all the eggs.


How long does it take to fertilize goldfish eggs?

They are fertilised as they are spawned. As the females scatter their ova (eggs) the males, chasing the females, scatter their milt (sperm). Some will be fertilised immediately and others won't be fertilised at all. It's very hit and miss. That is why a female goldfish releases thousands of ova in a single spawning.


Is birds fertilization internal or external?

All birds fertilize their eggs internally. A male bird has to mate with a female in order for a fertilized egg to be produced.


What is different about frog reproduction to human?

Frogs are amphibians, so they require water, such as a pond or a puddle to reproduce. The female frog lays her eggs in the water, and the male frog releases his sperm in the water while the female is laying. So the frog sperm swim through the water to reach the eggs. The frog eggs then grow and develop outside of the female's body. If the water dries up, all of the eggs would die. In humans, the fertilisation of the eggs occurs inside of the female, and the fertilised eggs develop inside of the female. This is an important difference, because the inside of female humans is always moist, so we don't have to depend on an external water source to reproduce.


Is fertilisation of a white tiger internal or external?

Will the eggs hatch if the fish is to young?

The age of the fish does not matter. If eggs (ova) are layed and fertilised by the male, then the eggs will hatch (develop) into fry provided all the other factors and water parameters are correct.


Can a twelve year old have babies?

It all depends on when they start puberty. If their body has developed to the point of having eggs that can be fertilised, then yes they can.
