Which of the following is an advantage of internal fertilization

Answer and Explanation:

Internal fertilization is characterized by sperm fertilizing the egg within the female. More protection against outside environments and predators, and therefore a higher chance of surviving until birth. The young develop within the female, receiving nourishment from the mother's blood through a placenta. Less chance of desiccation of gametes. Internal fertilization also enhances the fertilization of eggs by a specific male since the females are more selective of their mates thus increasing chances of gametes meeting. Even though fewer offspring are produced through this method, their survival rate is higher.
