@Uyap:
To have a mind (citta), it need rūpa (even in arupavacara (Formless realm) there is also trace of rūpa, see:Rūpa (Material Form) – Table ). In the Rūpavacara, there is one mindless plane (Asanna), see: Bhava and Bhavanga – Simply Explained!.

There are four causes which produce rūpa. They are:
(1) kamma
(2) citta
(3) utu
(4) āhāra

See Rūpa – Generation Mechanisms and Rūpa Kalapas (Grouping of Matter).

There are four different types of birth of Beings. Those are namely:

(1) Egg born (Andaja)
(2) Womb born Beings (Jalabuja)
(3) Moisture born beings (Sansedaja) and
(4) Spontaneous Birth (Opapatika)
