Summary Introduction
To describe: The reproductive nature of frogs.
Introduction: Frogs are the amphibians and are commonly known for their slimy skin, bulging eyes, and jumping abilities. Frogs belong to the order Anura and can live both in water and on land.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The ways by which the leopard frogs and pygmy salamanders differ based on their reproduction.
Introduction: The scientific name of the leopard frog is Lithobates pipiens and is green or greenish-brown. The female leopard frog is larger than the male leopard frog. The scientific name of pygmy salamanders is Desmognatus wrighti. Pygmy salamander belongs to the Plethodontidae family.

Describe how the reproductive structures of each organism are adapted towards the given characteristics of the animals:
1. Parasitic lifestyle of Taenia solium
2. Vermiform body of the Ascaris suum
3. Absence of intromittent organ in Pheretima
4. Solitary and slow-moving lifestyle of Lissachatina fulica
5. Saltatory mode of life in Rhinella marina
6. Temperature regulation of mammalian sperm cell production
