Accepted Answer

Viviparous and oviparous are two distinct modes of reproduction found in animals.

Viviparous Animals: The animals that give birth to live young are called as viviparous animals. In viviparous animals, the embryo develops within the mother's body, and the nutrients required for its development are provided by the mother through a specialised organ called a placenta.

Oviparous Animals: The animals that reproduce by laying eggs are known as oviparous animals. In this mode of reproduction, fertilisation typically occurs internally with the male depositing sperm into the female's reproductive tract. However, the embryo develops externally within an egg. Birds are the examples of oviparous animals.
