Question
Internal fertilization wastes gametes.
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
This statement is false. Internal fertilization typically produces fewer gametes than external fertilization, but they are less likely to be 'wasted' because the gametes are united inside the female's body, providing a more protected environment. External fertilization often involves releasing large numbers of gametes into the environment, where many are not fertilized (wasted).
Hint
Which type of fertilization requires releasing millions of sperm and eggs into the water, where many are lost?
