Question

Which condition is not required for successful external fertilization?
Options
A Internal gestation
Correct Answer
B Large number of gametes
C Moist environment
D Synchronization of gamete release
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

External fertilization involves gametes uniting outside the body. Internal gestation, where the embryo develops inside the parent, is a feature of viviparity and is not related to the fertilization event itself in external spawners.

Hint

External fertilization happens outside, so development often happens outside too.
