On the Basis of Mode of Reproduction – (19) By Division. (20) Example – Hydra. (21) Laying Eggs – (22) Examples – Birds, Lizard and Tortoise. (23) Eggs Hatching within the Parents’ Body – the embryos develop inside the mother’s body – called Oviparous Animals. (24) Examples – Fish and Amphibians. (25) Giving Birth to Live Babies – the embryo develops within the mother’s body by deriving nutrition from the mother’s body – called Viviparous Animals. (26) Examples - Higher beings, Cows or Dogs.
