Question
Differentiate between oviparous and viviparous animals with an example of each.

Answer

Oviparous animals
Viviparous animals
These are the animals which lay fertilised or unfertilised eggs.
These are the animals which give birth to young ones.
Chances of survival are less as offspring of oviparous animals are at a great risk as they are threatened by their predators and unfavourable environmental conditions, e.g. frogs, birds.
Chances of survival are high as offspring of viviparous animals are protected by the parent organism from predators/ enemies and unfavourable climate, e.g. Human beings/ mammals.
