Reproduction and Development in Arthropods -

  • Arthropods are dioecious animals, i.e., the male and female sex organs are present in different individuals. 
  • External fertilization occurs in aquatic arthropods while terrestrial arthropods perform internal fertilization. 
  • A majority of arthropods are oviparous, i.e., they lay eggs.
  • The development can be either direct or indirect.
