There are varieties of organism in animal kingdom possessing
different modes of reproduction depending on the complexity of their morphology and physiology. • Morphology- a branch of Biology that deals with the structure of an organism and their features. • Physiology- a branch of Biology that deals on the functions of an organism and their parts. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION- It is defined as the formation of new individuals from the cells of a single parent. This is very common in plants. Asexual reproduction does not involve the union of gametes (sperm cell and egg cell) and it does not change the number of chromosomes present.
Chromosomes- A threadlike structure of nucleic acids, and
protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the forms of genes. FRAGMENTATION Fragmentation- a pieces of the parent breaks off and develops into a new animal. It can also refer to the state or result of being broken up or having been divided. It can occur because of an accidental damage, damage from the predators or just in a natural way of reproduction. This kind of asexual reproduction is more commonly seen on sponges, cnidarians, echinoderms and annelids. BINARY FISSION Binary Fission- is the process in which an organisms divides into two and grow into a new organism. There is a separation in the parent cell to create a daughter cell. And all the daughter cells that is created will have a copy of the DNA from his parents. BUDDING Budding- process outgrowth or callus projecting from the parent and eventually buds off. Resulting in the enlargement of a body part of an organism and the creation of 2 individuals. BUDS- are the young part of a plant that is almost ready to bloom. PARTHENOGENESIS Parthenogenesis is a self impregnation resulting in the creation of zygote from unfertilized egg. An organism is being pregnant without having any sexual contact in other organism. It is also called a “virgin birth”. TRANSVERSE FISSION Transverse Fission- Direct reproduction of all portion that regenerates the missing part to create a new organism depending on the axis of separation. It is also occurs on the invertebrates or to the organisms that without any backbone. CLONE Clone- It is a production of a genetically identical cells of an organisms that is asexually produced by a single cell or organism. It is an individual organism that was created or develop in a single body cell of his parent that is genetically identical from his parent. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION SEXUAL REPRODUCTION- It is defined as the perpetuation or creating of a new organism from 2 organism with the use of gametes. In this process, the male gametes or sperm cell is having a collaboration with the female gametes or egg cell to develop a diploid cell or what we called a zygote. During sexual reproduction the genetic material contained in their chromosomes combine to produce genetically diverse offspring that is different from both parents. OVIPAROUS AND VIVIPAROUS Oviparous Animals- The animals that releases eggs or laying eggs. with little or no other embryonic development within the mother.
Viviparous Animals- The
animals are those in which fertilization and embryo development occur inside the individual. HERMAPHRODITISM Hermaphroditism- the condition of having both male and female reproductive organs. A condition of most plants and some animals (such as earthworms) in which male and female reproductive organs are present in the same individual SEQUENTIAL HERMAPHRODITISM Sequential Hermaphroditism- is when the same organism has both the male and female sex organs and produces both types of gametes. Sequential hermaphroditism means that an organism switches from its inborn sex to the opposite sex, a development observed primarily in certain fish and gastropods. HOW GENES WORK? What do your genes do? Your genes are inside almost every cell in your body. Each gene contains instructions that tell your cells to make proteins. Proteins perform all sorts of different tasks in your cells such as making eye pigments, powering muscles, and attacking invading bacteria. HOW GENETIC ENGINEERING USED TO PRODUCE A NOVEL PRODUCT? also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. Genetic engineering has applications in medicine, research, industry and agriculture and can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and microorganisms.
