Why do animals like frogs and fish lay hundreds of eggs?

Expert Answer
Animals like frogs and fish lay hundreds of eggs and release millions of sperms. But the entire eggs do not get fertilized and develop into new individuals. This is because the eggs and sperms get exposed to water movement, wind and rainfall. Also, there are other animals in the pond which may feed on eggs. Thus, production of large number of eggs and sperms is necessary to ensure fertilization of at least a few of them.
