Summary Introduction
To review:
The advantage and disadvantage of oviparous and viviparous reproductions.
Introduction:
Oviparous animals lay eggs and the development of young ones takes place inside these eggs, which hatch into the young animals. Examples of oviparous animals include birds, most reptiles, and amphibians. The embryonic development in viviparous animals takes place inside the body of mother, and mother directly gives birth to the young ones. Examples of viviparous animals include most mammals including humans.

- Describe the main differences between asexual and sexual reproduction. Why are both types of reproduction common?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements best describes the advantage of sexual reproduction in organisms? It reduces genetic variation, which may be useful in the future. It prevents adaptation in a changing environment. It yields offspring with novel combinations of traits. It eliminates the possibility of harmful traits being passed on. tnf: Which of the following statements best describes the functions of villi and microvilli? Villi and microvilli form the inner layer of epithelial tissue in the small intestine and increase the absorption of nutrients from chyme. Villi and microvilli absorb food through the small intestine via smooth muscle contractions called peristalsis. Villi and microvilli increase the surface area of the small intestine, which increases the absorption of nutrients by diffusion. Villi and microvilli increase the surface area of the small intestine, which aids in the absorption of bile salts and vitamin B12.arrow_forwardExplain the two modes of reproduction.arrow_forward
