Remember these:

A reproductive system is an organ system for the creation of offspring.


Most of the animals have in common parts for reproductive system both male and female.
Mammals’ reproductive system is more complex than insects and amphibians
The vas deferens these (there are two) follow the urethras and transport the spermatozoa from
the testicles and the epididymis to the copulatory organ.

The female reproductive system has two functions: The first is to produce egg cells, and
the second is to protect and nourish the offspring until birth.
Reproductive system is a collection of internal and external organs in both males and females that
work together for the purpose of procreating
The male reproductive system has one function, and it is to produce and deposit sperm.

Reproduction involves the transfer of genetic material from parent to offspring.


Sexual reproduction is the production of a new organism from two parents. A sperm cell from a
male and an egg cell from a female join into a single unit in a process called fertilization.
Dogs,cats, butterflies, mosquitoes, and frogs reproduce sexually.
Fertilization in dogs and cats takes place inside the female’s body (internal fertilization).
Fertilization in frogs happens outside the body; that is, in water where they live (external
fertilization)

Reproduction in butterflies begins with courtship, during which the male vigorously flaps its
wings, releasing a dust of microscopic scales carrying pheromones above the female's antennae.
These male pheromones act as a sexual stimulant to the female. Some males release additional
pheromones from "hair pencils" under the abdomen. Female butterflies that are ready to mate
dispense with courtship.
A female will display certain behaviors during heat.
Rolling on the floor rubbing against objects with noticeable intensity rub their
head or neck on objects Flexing the claws and stretching strange howling that can go
on for several minutes spray urine in the same manner that is usually associated with
tomcats adopt postures suggestive of a desire to mate - tail raised, rear end elevated
strong desire to escape the house may develop Some cats follow their owners around
very persistently when in heat
