Study Notes
Types of Animal Birth Processes
-
Oviparous Animals
- Produce eggs that develop and hatch outside the mother's body.
- Examples include birds, reptiles, and most fish.
-
Viviparous Animals
- Give birth to live young, with no egg stage.
- Nourishment for the developing embryo is provided directly through the mother's body.
- Common in mammals, including humans.
-
Ovoviviparous Animals
- Eggs hatch internally while still inside the mother, leading to live births.
- The developing embryos derive nutrition from the yolk contained in the egg.
- Present in some species of sharks, snakes, and certain lizards.
