Oviparous, but hatching the egg while it is within the body, as some fishes and reptiles.
Carry eggs internally, which hatch during the birth process
Also called APLECENTAL VIVIPARITY. Producing eggs that hatch within the mother. Animals that carry eggs internally and produce young or larvae without an external shell. The young are held within an egg casing inside the adult that thins to the point that only a thin mucus membrane remains when the young are born, or is broken upon delivery. Usually, the young have already emerged from the membrane upon delivery, appearing as a "live birth". However, because the young have hatched from an egg, although internally within the mother, this is not a true live birth. Animals that are true live-bearers are called viviparous. Ovoviviparous animals are not nourished from the mother via a placenta. OVIPAROUS, and VIVIPAROUS.
producing eggs that hatch inside the mother's body
Producing living young from eggs that hatch within the female's body.
producing eggs which hatch inside the body of the female
said of those fishes that retain the eggs within the body of the female in a brood chamber in which the development of the embryo takes place, perhaps deriving some nourishment from the female, but without the strong umbilical attachment to a placenta as in mammals; the true condition of ‘live-bearing' fishes
Shelled eggs that are retained inside the mother's uterus until young are developed. Young hatch from eggs inside the uterus and then are born.
producin' eggs dat hatch widin de dudette's body widout obtainin' nourishment fum it. Man
Refers to the reproductive method of egg-bearing. Eggs are retained in the body until hatching so as to appear to give live birth (see viviparous). An ovoviviparous animal's umbellical cord is connected to a yolk as opposed to getting nutrition directly from the mother.
poroducing young by means of membranous eggs retained in the female until hatching
( vip' s) An animal that produces eggs with enclosing membranes that are incubated and hatch inside the body or upon being expelled, so that the young are born alive.
producin' eggs that 'otch wivin the female's body wivout obtainin' nourishment from it.
Refers to any reptile which retains thinly shelled eggs within the reptiles body. these then hatch and emerge from the mother's vent or she delivers them just before the babies break through the membrane.
"Live-bearing" fish, eggs are held within the body of the female where the development of the embryo takes place
Producing eggs (usually with yolk) that are fertilized internally. Hatching may occur internally or external to the mother.
Reproduces by eggs which remain in the mother's body until they are ready to hatch. When the young emerge, they are born live, with only a membrane to break out of.
( oh-voh-vy- vip-ur-us) Referring to a type of development in which young hatch from eggs that are retained in the mother's uterus.
Laying or deposition of an egg which contains a larva.
species in which the eggs develop and hatch inside the female's body
An animal who holds the eggs inside its body until they hatch and living young are delivered. However, the embryo is sustained by the contents of the egg and not by any connection to the animal that holds it.
producing an egg which hatches within the maternal body. cf. viviparous, oviparous
producing eggs that hatch within the female's body without obtaining nourishment from it.
This means your reptile or amphibian produces eggs that hatch inside its body. An example of this would be monkey-tail skinks.
young are born from eggs, but the eggs are incubated internally.
giving live birth to eggs hatched within the uterus.
Giving birth to live young which have developed from eggs that hatched within the mother's body. Some sharks are ovoviviparous.
Ovoviviparous animals hatch from eggs, but the eggs hatch and the babies develop inside the female's body. There is no placenta to nourish the pups. Great white sharks are ovoviviparous. Ovoviviparity is now called aplacental viviparity. Zoom Sharks Shark Glossary U-Z Click on an underlined word for more information on that subject.

Producing eggs (having well-defined eggshells) which then hatch internally, known as a “bag of worms†phenotype. This condition is sometimes seen in very old C. elegans, which are otherwise oviparous, but whose egg laying abilities decline late in reproductive life. Many egl mutations interfere with normal egg laying behavior and can lead an ovoviviparous state, where internal “hatchees†(L1 stage young) break out of the uterus and begin to eat the tissues of mother.
