why does a frog lays so many eggs in one time
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
risks are at peak as the eggs face additional threat of diffusing away in the water and not meeting with the sperm. Which is why the aquatic animals have been acted upon by the evolutionary forces which made them to leave behind a large number of eggs. and also to compensate for the loss of a few eggs that might get broken, or attacked by predators.
That is because though the frogs lay hundreds of eggs, all the eggs do not get fertilized and develop into new individuals.
This is because the eggs get exposed to water movement, wind and rainfall. Also, there are other animals in the pond which may feed on eggs.
Thus, production of large number of eggs is necessary to ensure fertilization of at least a few of them.
