ANSWER: Embryos that develop inside eggs remain in the mother's body until they are ready to hatch
- Ovoviviparity, ovovivipary, or ovivipary, is a mode of reproduction in animals in which embryos that develop inside eggs remain in the mother's body until they are ready to hatch.
- This method of reproduction is similar to viviparity but the embryos have no placental connection with the mother but receive their nourishment from a yolk sac; the mother's body does provide gas exchange (sharks and rays).
