A major disadvantage of external fertilization is:
1. | Lack of variations amongst the offspring |
2. | Need for the production of a significant number of male gametes |
3. | A high threat to the progeny for survival up to adulthood |
4. | The number of progeny per reproductive event will mostly be one |
