1. Fish and frog lay many eggs to increase chance of survival of the offspring and the continuation or their generation. 

2. They do not take care of their young ones making them prone to predators and may even be washed away by the water force.

3. Thus the more eggs produced, the greater the chances that some will grow to maturation. 

4. Female frog and fish release their eggs in the water and male animals release their sperms in the water. As fertilization takes place in the water it is external ferlitization. There is no safety for the fertilized eggs in the water so these animals lay more number of eggs. 

5. Whereas cow and human beings usually give birth to only one at a time and the internal fertilization takes place in these animals. There is safety for the embryo (the offspring) in the mother’s womb until it’s birth.
