Difference Between Internal and External Fertilization

Last updated on February 22, 2018 by Divanshi G

Internal fertilization is the process when the syngamy (union of male and female gamete) occurs inside the female body after insemination using copulation. In contrast, External fertilization is the syngamy outside the female body, that is in the outer environment especially in water bodies.

Difference Between Bones and Cartilage

Last updated on February 2, 2022 by Divanshi G

Both bones and cartilages are connective tissues. But they vary in their structures and functions. Bones on one hand are harder, solid and rigid structures. Their primary function is to provide structure and stability to the body. They also protect the internal organs from getting injured. While the cartilages are soft and flexible tissues.
