1 Stages of the life cycle
TOPIC : LIFE CYCLE OF A FLY Stages of the life cycle There are four stages to the life cycle of fruit flies, these are: eggs, larvae, pupae and adults. The female adult fly lays 50 and 75 eggs The eggs hatch into larvae inside the fruit after a few days (2-4 days). The larvae hatch into pupae after 4 or 10 days. The pupae develop between 4 and 10 days.

2 2. After 21 days Tadpoles hatch from the eggs and live in the pond.
TOPIC : LIFE CYCE OF A FROG 1. Frog eggs floating in a pond:  these clusters of floating eggs are called "egg masses".  Frogs lay up to 4,000 eggs at one time! 2. After 21 days Tadpoles hatch from the eggs and live in the pond. 3. The tadpoles turn into Froglets after about five weeks  The body shrinks and legs form. 4. Eleven weeks after the egg was laid, we have a Frog.

3 Topic : life cycle of a shark
The Shark gives birth to approximately three to 14 pups at a time.  Fertilisation of the female egg occurs internally. Sharks use one of three ways to carry their young –: 1) Oviparity, 2) Viviparity and 3) Ovoviviparity. 1. Oviparity – Some sharks lay eggs, often protected within a leathery egg case.  2. Viviparity – This term is used to describe the sharks that have a placenta from which to feed and sustain their young inside. The young are born alive and at full term.  3. Ovoviviparity – The majority of sharks lay eggs inside their body. These hatch and the young remain inside for some time. Eventually, they are born alive and fully developed.
