Reveal answer ↓

What it is

Animals either lay eggs (oviparous) or give birth to live young (viviparous).

Answer

Oviparous animals lay eggs that develop and hatch outside the mother's body, for example a hen or a frog. Viviparous animals give birth to live young that develop inside the mother's body, for example a human or a cow.

  • Oviparous: lay eggs, develop outside (hen, frog)
  • Viviparous: give birth to live young, develop inside (human, cow)

Why learn this

It helps you understand how different animals - and humans - are born and develop.

💡 Memory trick

Oviparous = Ova (eggs) outside; Viviparous = Vivid live babies inside.
