Q16 / 137 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Botany · Reproduction in Organisms

Shark is

  • A
    Oviparous
  • B
    Viviparous
  • Correct answer
    C
    Ovoviviparous
  • D
    Both (A) and (C)

Solution

Ovoviviparity, ovoviviparous, ovivipary, or aplacental viviparity is an outmoded term used as a 'bridging' form of reproduction between egg-laying oviparous and live-bearing viviparous reproduction. Ovoviviparous animals have the embryos develop inside eggs that remain in the mother's body until they are ready to hatch, e.g., sharks.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
