Could the number of eggs of young ones by an oviparous and a viviparous mother be equal? Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Normally the number of eggs produced by oviparous is greater than that ones by viviparous. The development of young ones, in oviparous takes place outside the mother whereas in the viviparous, the development of embryo takes place inside the uterus of mother hence a viviparous mother can have only a very limited number of embryos at a time in her uterus.
Oviparous mother have no need to feed their young ones (embryos) until hatched. Hence, is large number.
