Answer» The animals that experience direct development are FISHES, REPTILES, birds and mammals. Indirect Development: It is a type of development an animal born is different from the adult form. In this type of development, the embryo hatches from the egg in a larval formExplanation:Direct Development - Direct development is a widespread alternate reproductive mode in living amphibians that is CHARACTERIZED by evolutionary loss of the free-living, aquatic larval stage. Courtship, mating, and oviposition OCCUR on LAND, and the terrestrial egg hatches as a fully formed, miniature adult.Indirect Development -In this type of development, embryo develops into a mature individual without involving a larval stage. It this type of development, sexually-immature larval stage is present. Metamorphosis is absent. |
