Reproductive System: Structure and Function

1. Draw the reproductive system of female and male ruminants (cattle, carabao, goat, sheep) of any
species. Label and indicate the functions of each part.

2. Draw the reproductive system of female and male monogastric animals (swine, horse, rabbit) of
any species. Label and indicate the functions of each part.

3. Draw the reproductive system of female and male poultry (chicken, duck, turkey, quail) of any
species. Label and indicate the functions of each part.

1. Generalization (Minimum of 100 words: Answer these questions in generalization.)

a. What did you learn in conducting this laboratory activity?

The learning that I learn in conducting this laboratory activity is the function of
reproduction has a role to ensure a species' survival it is the process through which living
creatures repeat themselves. Animals compete with other individuals in the environment to
keep themselves alive for long enough to create tissue that isn't necessary for their own
existence but is necessary for the species' survival. The extra tissue, called reproductive tissue,
normally separates from the individual to produce a new, self-contained organism.

Although certain invertebrate species reproduce asexually, the majority reproduce

sexually. A gamete, which is produced by specialized tissues or structures called gonads, is the
basic unit of sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction does not always involve copulation or
even gamete union. Many variations have evolved to ensure the survival of species in the
invertebrates, as one might anticipate from such a huge and diverse group. The gonads are
transient organs in many lower invertebrates, but they are permanent in higher forms. Female
and male gonads cohabit in certain invertebrates; in others, the same gonad produces both
sperm and eggs. Monoecious animals are those that generate both sperm and eggs from the
same individual. The sexes are separated into dioecious organisms. In hermaphroditic animals,
 the male gonads ripen first which ensures cross-fertilization. However, self-fertilization is
common in many species, and some species experience sex reversal.
