Fertilization pattern
Costs Benefits
External Fertilization -large gamete output
-need for synchrony
-unpredictable dispersion
-gamete dilution
-takes advantage of medium
Internal Fertilization(no copulation)
-large gamete output
-unpredictable dispersion
-gamete dilution
-takes advantage of medium
Internal Fertilization(copulation)
-energy in mate searching
-energy in courtship
-less gamete wastage
-greater efficiency in reproduction
