ANIMALS

By-Samarth and Athish


VIVIPAROUS ANIMALS

Animals that give birth to live


offspring are called Viviparous
animals.
Examples: Elephant, dog, cat,
horse, cow, human beings.
OVIPAROUS ANIMALS

• Animals that lay eggs,


which hatch into offspring,
are called Oviparous
animals
• Examples: Snakes, birds,
frogs, and butterflies.
• Newly hatched birds and
young ones of mammals
look similar to their
parents. However, in some
animals the newly hatched
individuals do not
resemble the parents and
undergo a series of
changes (called
metamorphosis) after birth
CLONING

Cloning is a technique through


which multiple copies of a single
gene, chromosome, or whole
organism can be produced.
Perhaps the most famous
example of cloning is Dolly the
sheep, which was cloned at
Roslin Institute, Scotland
