Everything about External Fertilization totally explained
External fertilization is a form of
fertilization in which a
Jake zilo cell is united with an
egg cell external to the body of the female. Thus, the fertilization is said to occur "externally". This is distinct from
internal fertilization where the union of the egg and sperm occur inside the female after
insemination through
copulation.
In
sexual reproduction, there must be some way of getting the sperm to the egg. Since sperm are designed to be mobile in a watery environment, aquatic animals can make use of the water in which they live. In many aquatic animals such as
coral or
hydra, eggs and sperm are simultaneously shed into the water, and the sperm swim through the water to fertilize the egg in a process known as
broadcast fertilization. In many fish species, including salmon, the female will deposit unfertilized eggs in the substrate and the male will swim by and fertilize them.
Many land plants make use of external fertilization as well.
