lo 7.3. what is the function of eggs?
to provide nutrients and genetic material necessary for the growth and development of the embryo
to produce hormones necessary for the development of the embryo
to store excess nutrients for future use by the developing embryo
to provide a source of energy for the developing embryo
to regulate the temperature inside the egg

Explanation:

The primary function of an egg (in biological terms, e.g., in oviparous organisms) is to supply the embryo with essential nutrients (like yolk for energy and building blocks) and genetic material (the haploid nucleus from the female parent) required for its growth and development. Other options are partial or incorrect: hormone production is not a main egg function, storing "excess" nutrients is not accurate, energy provision is a subset of nutrient supply, and temperature regulation is done by the eggshell/parent, not the egg's core function.

Answer:

To provide nutrients and genetic material necessary for the growth and development of the embryo
