Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference between terms viviparity, oviparity, and ovoviviparity.
Introduction: Animal kingdom show two types of fertilization that include external fertilization and internal fertilization. In external fertilization, the fusion of sperm and egg takes place outside the body, whereas, in internal fertilization, the fusion of sperm and egg occurs inside the female body. Based on these criteria, the animals are classified into viviparous, ovoviviparous, and oviparous animals.

She shares that her cycle is regular but not standard 28 days long cycle (so the standard explanation form different sources won't work unless you think critically)! At what time of the female cycle is she most likely to prevent fertilization of her ovulated egg? Consider the fact that her cycle is not 28 days but longer or shorter (you pick). Do males have any time (in their cycle- if any) when their gametes would not be able to fertilize the egg? In other words when can intercourse lead to least chance of pregnancy? Feel free to check with your older friends, doctors, nurses, or anyone who you feel comfortable talking about this.arrow_forwardSelect the conditions that would be present in a genetic male fetushaving a mutation that causes the synthesis of an ineffective müllerian-inhibiting hormone.(1) Male internal reproductive structures develop.(2) Male internal reproductive structures do not develop.(3) Female internal reproductive structures develop.(4) Female internal reproductive structures do not develop.(5) Male external genitalia develop.(6) Female external genitalia develop.a. 2,4,6b. 1,3,5c. 1,2,6d. 2,3,5arrow_forward
