Question

What is the average amount of eggs laid by a frog?

Answer 1

In most species of frogs, fertilization is external. The male frog grabs the female's back and fertilizes the eggs as the female frog releases them (Figure 2.2B). Rana pipiens usually lays around 2500 eggs, while the bullfrog, Rana catesbiana, can lay as many as 20,000.

Answer 2

Answer:

A rough estimate is that only 1 in 50 eggs will survive and will grow from an egg into a tadpole. To put this into perspective… When a female frog lays 20,000 eggs and all of them get fertilized, only about 400 of them will grow into tadpoles
