Summary Introduction

Introduction: The reproduction is the process which results in the birth of offspring. The organisms, which show characteristics of external fertilization, often form an intermediate larval stage in between. The organisms, which show internal fertilization in their life cycle, can be oviparous, ovoviviparous, viviparous, and placental.

A. Water currents in the ocean are much stronger than any sperm. How do sperm and egg find each other? B. In humans there are no water currents and the volume of the female reproductive tract is relatively limited. Then, why does the male have so many sperm? C. Why do sea urchins have external fertilization? D. Then why don't the parents take care of the young? E. Because the urchin life involves two or more ecological niches, they are more susceptible to predation and exposure to environmental toxins. What environmental conditions, predators and toxins might they be exposed to at each stage?
Oviparity is the rule in the animal kingdom. It is common in insects, fishes, amphibians, and reptiles, and universal in birds. Among mammals, the most primitive species (the echidna and the platypus) are also oviparous. However, all mammals that evolved later (marsupials and placentals) are viviparous. What do you think was responsible for this major shift in reproductive strategy?
Which of the following animals has indirect development (larvae)? A.    Salamander B.    Bony fish C.     Butterfly D.     B and C only E.     A, B, and C
