In week three for STEAM we researched the different life cycle patterns observed in marine animals. We found that there are four main categories.
Oviparous – Producing young by means of eggs which are hatched after they have been laid by the parent.
Viviparous– Give birth to live young.
Ovoviviparous – Once the egg hatches, it remains inside the mother for a period of time
Metamorphosis – Change of physical form, structure, or substance
