Definition of Term

aplacental viviparity
(English) Also called ovoviviparity (production of eggs that are fertilised and hatch inside the mother but the embryos lack a placental connection to the oviduct or uterus and so do not feed off the mother. The young are born as miniature adults, free-swimming and feeding). (See also: ovoviviparity, placental, oviduct)
