 Activity 2. Repro-Mode Finder
Objective: Identify the different modes of reproduction in plants and in animals.
Materials: answer sheet, pen, crayons or any coloring materials
What to Do: Identify what mode of plant or animal reproduction is presented in the puzzle
“Find the Path” below by discovering each of the correct links that match column A with
column B. Use yellow colour to shade the line/path for asexual reproduction and blue for
sexual; and if the organism is an animal, use orange colour to shade the box in column B if
fertilization is internal and green if it is external.

Guide Questions: Write your answer(s) in the designated space below the questions.
Explanation should be written in two sentences.

1. Based from the given puzzle, which method displays vegetative reproduction?
Answer: Answer:
1. The Leaf Propagation, 2. The Vegetative Reproduction is the regeneration of new plants
as we can see in the from portions of the vegetative organs of a parent plant. So,
picture, it produces small vegetative reproduction considered as type of asexual reproduction
plants called plantlets on because new individuals are formed without the involvement of two
the edges of its leaves, parents.
which become new plants
when detached from the
parent plant. It relies on
the use of pieces of
vegetative plant part such
as leaves.

2. Why is vegetative reproduction considered as a type of asexual reproduction?

 Activity 3. Weigh Me Up!
Objective: Determine the advantages of asexual and sexual reproduction in plants and in
animals.
Materials: activity sheet, pen
What to Do:
1. Study the list in the table below. It contains advantages of asexual and sexual reproduction.
Take note that there are “jokers” on the list.
2. Have a look also at the weighing scale shown underneath. Notice that one side is heavier
than the other. Based from the given choices, decide which mode of reproduction has more
advantages and write the letters of your answer inside each of the appropriate boxes in the
weighing balance.
3. Write the mode of reproduction: asexual or sexual as label on each side of the scale.

Choices:
A. Reproduction happens in faster rate.
B. This no genetic change in the offspring.
C. There is no need to find mate since single parent is involved.
D. Energy and time is used up in competing for a suitable mate during courtship.
E. Reproduction can take place through the whole body or in different body parts.
F. There is high diversity in genes because of the fusion of gametes from two parents.
G. There are much more chances of elimination of unfavorable traits from offspring in the
process of crossing over of genes.
H. This reproduction results to variation of desired characteristic of offspring with high
adaptability to changing environmental conditions.
I. Reproduction is much slower but results showed higher survival rate of the offspring that is
not genetically identical to parents due to varied genetic characteristics.

In your opinion, what is the better mode of reproduction for both plants and animals? Why?

Reflection
Many people are staying at home nowadays due to Covid-19 pandemic; and in order to
pass time and/or add food to the table – most become “plantitos/plantitas” – meaning, they
enthusiastically tend vegetables and ornamental plants. What mode of reproduction is
employed by the planters so that the reproduction of plant is faster? Why? Explain your
answer in three sentences.
