Question

Most aquatic species rely on internal fertilization for sexual reproduction.

True

False

Answer 1

Answer- False

Aquatic animals reproduce sexually in the water medium. They reproduce so by external fertilization. In external fertilization the eggs from female are shed into the aquatic medium. Thereafter, sperms through the medium of water swim to the eggs and fertilize them. Thus the process of fertilization occurs.

Most aquatic species rely on external medium of fertilization as they need water as a medium for the sperms to swim to the eggs. Example- fishes, frogs etc.
