help you master the different modes of reproduction of different animals, such
as butterflies, mosquitoes, frogs, cats and dogs. The scope of this module
permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used
recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged
to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read
them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into three lessons, namely:

BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Animal reproduction is essential to the survival of a species. It can occur

through either asexual or sexual means. Sexual reproduction takes place when sex
cells of two parent animals unite to form a new organism while asexual reproduction
does not need either a male or a female to produce a young, they simply make
identical copies of itself. Some animals deposited the sperm cells inside the female’s
body (internal) or outside the female's body (external). Animals which give birth to
young ones, like cats and dogs are called viviparous animals, while animals that lay
eggs, like butterflies, mosquitoes and frogs, are called oviparous animals.

Life cycles are found within every living organism of the world. By
understanding life cycles we begin to put how human development works in
perspective. Consider the life cycle of a frog, mosquito and butterfly. Each of these
living organisms goes through a process known as metamorphosis. Metamorphosis
is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching.
The life cycle of an animal such, as insects, is considered a complete metamorphosis
if it undergoes four stages such as eggs, larva, pupa and adult. All frogs
reproduce sexually, and are hatched from eggs. In almost all frogs, egg fertilization
happens outside the female's body instead of inside. The female releases her eggs
and the male releases his sperm at the same time.
LESSON 1: Mode of Reproduction of Butterflies

Reproduction in butterflies begins with courtship. Then the male and female
butterflies are ready to mate. The male butterfly deposits sperm into the female
butterfly. Once the female’s eggs are fertilized, she lays eggs on different plants. The
plants will provide food for the eggs when they become caterpillars. The sperm cells
of male butterflies are being deposited inside (internal) the body of female butterflies).
The life cycle of a butterfly has four stages, namely, the egg, caterpillar (larva),
chrysalis (pupa) and adult stage. Egg - A butterfly starts its life as an egg. Larva -
The larva (caterpillar) hatches from egg and eats leaves or flowers almost constantly.
The caterpillar molts (loses its old skin) many times as it grows. Pupa - It turns into
a pupa (chrysalis); this is a resting stage. Adult - A beautiful, flying adult emerges.
There is no growth during this stage. This adult will continue the cycle and
reproduce. The butterfly is a source of food for some other creature. The butterfly’s
primary contribution is to pollinate flowers, including fruit and vegetables blossoms
that provide nectar for a variety of adults.

_____ D. Reproduction in butterflies begins with courtship.
_____ E. The plants will provide food for the eggs when they become

LESSON 2: Mode of Reproduction of Mosquitoes

The mode of reproduction of mosquitoes is that the sperm cells of male

mosquitoes are being deposited inside (internal) the body of female
mosquitoes by mating. During the mosquito breeding cycle, the female adults
lay their eggs in stagnant water. When the eggs hatch, the emerging larvae
feed on vegetative or organic materials found in the water. Female mosquitoes
lay its eggs at night because the females use the blood they suck to nourish
and develop eggs. The life cycle of a mosquito has four stages, namely; the
egg, larva, pupa and adult stage. 1Egg hatches when exposed to water. 2Larva
(or wriggler) lives in water and will molt several times; most species surface to
breathe air. 3Pupa (tumbler) does not feed. This is stage just before they
emerge as an 4adult.

LESSON 3: Mode of Reproduction of Frogs

Frogs find their mates on water. They are amphibians. Their bodies are
covered with thin moist slippery skin. Just like other animals, their youngs
are hatched from eggs. Spawn is the released of egg cells into the water. Frogs
reproduce sexually. In frogs, when a female is full of eggs and ready to mate,
she approaches a male. The male embraces the female with his front legs in
a process called amplexus. This stimulates the female to release her eggs at
the same time the male releases his sperm. Because they are in close contact
and the gametes are released at the same time, the sperm reaches many eggs.
Frog lays its eggs in water to prevent them from getting dried up. Another
reason why frogs lay their eggs in water is because young tadpoles that come
out after hatching have gills as the only breathing organ which requires them
to swim under water to breathe. Frogs lay so many eggs in water also to make
sure that enough eggs reach to mortality and adulthood. Fertilization in frogs
happens outside the body; that is, in water where they live (external
fertilization).

LESSON 4: Mode of Reproduction of Cats and Dogs

Cats and dogs reproduce sexually. Cats, like dogs, also experience
estrous or heat cycle. However, female cats, which are also known as queens,
are induced ovulators. This means that they do not ovulate (pass an egg)
unless they are bred. They produce their young by giving birth. Giving birth
to puppies occurs after gestation period of about nine weeks. The sperm cells
of male cats and dogs are being deposited inside (internal) the body of female
cats and dogs (www.msdvetmanual.com/).

 REMEMBER

 Reproduction involves the transfer of genetic material from parent to

offspring.

 Two types of Reproduction:

1) Sexual reproduction is the production of a new organism from two
parents.
2) Asexual reproduction does not need one male and female to produce
young.

 Fertilization takes place when a sperm cell unites with the egg cell.
1) External fertilization – fertilization happens outside the body of the
parents
Ex. frogs
2) Internal fertilization – fertilization happens when the male animal
releases sperm cells into the body of the female animal to fertilized
the egg cell
Ex. dogs, cats, butterflies, mosquitoes

 Mode of Reproduction:
1) Ovipary develops outside the mother’s body, are egg- laying
animals
2) Vivipary develops inside the mother’s body, animals are born
alive

egg egg egg

larva (caterpillar) larva tadpole
pupa (chrysalis) pupa tadpole with legs
adult (butterfly) adult young frog
adult frog

 Reproduction of a Butterfly
1) Reproduction in butterflies begins with courtship.
2) Then, the male and female butterflies are ready to mate.
3) The male butterfly deposits sperm into the female butterfly.
4) Once the female’s eggs are fertilized, she lays eggs on different
plants.
5) The plants will provide food for the eggs when they become
caterpillars.

 Reproduction of a Mosquito
 1) A female insect lays eggs.
2) Hatched from eggs but do not look adult insects.
3) After a period of time, larvae are nothing like it was, and exists
the cocoon or larval body as an adult.
4) Larvae make cocoon around themselves and become busy
changing into their adult forms.

 Reproduction of a Frog
1) The female frog approaches a male when it is full of eggs and
ready to mate.
2) With its front legs, the male frog embraces the female.
3) When the female frog is stimulated to release her eggs, the male
releases his sperm.
4) Frogs gametes are released at the same time.
5) The gametes are released at the same time, the sperm reaches
many eggs.

 Reproduction of Cats and Dogs

The reproductive system of female dogs and humans are very similar.
Dogs and cats reproduce sexually. Female dogs mate only with male dogs
when they are in heat. At birth, the kitten leave the vagina. Giving birth to
puppies occur after gestation period of about nine weeks.
