State
In oviparity, fertilized eggs develop outside the body on yolk; in ovoviviparity, eggs develop inside the parent on yolk; in viviparity, offspring develop inside, nourished through a placenta.
Show
Most mammals develop viviparously, nourished through a placental connection rather than yolk alone.
Watch for
Ovoviviparity and viviparity both retain the embryo internally, but only viviparity transfers nutrients directly.
