Eggs are subsequently deposited in an environment that promotes their further development, or are incubated by one or both parents.
The shell of a fertilized animal egg has what type of analog in angiosperms?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shell of a fertilized animal egg is analogous to the seed coat of an angiosperm. Both structures protect and provide nutrients to the developing embryo. Endosperm is a food source for the developing plant embryo, carpels are reproductive structures in a flower, and fruit is the mature ovary of a flower containing seeds.
