3. • the eggs are fertilized within the female reproductive tract
• internal fertilization requires copulatory organs
• the physical union between a male and a female’s
reproductive parts. It may or may not result in
successful fertilization.
• Animals that use internal fertilization specialize in the
protection of the developing egg
4. Sexual

8.
9. • the eggs are fertilized outside of the body
• occurs mostly in wet environments and requires both the male
and the female to release their gametes into their surroundings
(usually water)
1. it results in the production of a large number
of offspring
2. environmental hazards such as
predators greatly reduce the chance of
surviving into adulthood
11. Sexual
Reproduction
Occurs inside the water
Eggs (female cells) are
released into the water and
sperm (male cells) are
released near the eggs
Males and females don´t
need to touch each other
