ANIMAL REPRODUCTION
OBJECTIVES:
A.IDENTIFY THE TYPES OF ANIMAL
REPRODUCTION,
B.APPRECIATE EACH UNIQUE TYPE
OF ANIMAL REPRODUCTION
C.PERFORM THE GIVEN ACTIVITY.
 -What are the behaviors/ modes
in animal reproduction?
-What is the difference of
incubation and gestation?
Sexual and asexual reproduction
produces offspring. In an asexual
reproduction, a parent organism
will not need a mate or partner for
it to produce its own offspring. The
offspring of asexual organisms are
an exact same copy of its parent
organism.
In sexual reproduction, a male
and female gamete is needed in
order to produce an offspring. In
most instances, there is a male
and female organism to produce
the gametes but, this isn’t
always the case.
Finding a partner for sexual
animals can sometimes prove
difficult, and so, as an adaptive
mechanism and evolutionary
solution, some animals exhibit
hermaphroditism.
This is when an organism has both male and
female reproductive system. This is common
among sessile (stationary) animals. In
hermaphroditism, the organism may or may
not have a partner for fertilization to occur.
Unlike, an asexual offspring, a sexual offspring
is genetically unique from its parent organisms.
Notice how there are two apparent sexes in
sexual organisms, while there is no definite sex
in the asexual organism.
Types of asexual reproduction
1. Binary Fission – occurs in single celled organisms.
It is when a parent cell divides itself into two equal
parts and creates an offspring. This type of
reproduction is like cloning. To easily remember and
understand the reproduction process of binary
fission it is valuable to remember what the terms
mean. The word binary means something having
two parts (the new daughter bacteria) while the
word fission means the movement of splitting (the
dividing of two equal parts). Ex. Bacteria
2. Fragmentation – occurs when an organism
breaks a part of itself into a fragment, and the
fragment develops into a new organism as
shown in figure 4. Ex. Starfish & flatworms
3. Budding – happens when a parent organism
grows a bud attached to its body. When the
bud is developed it will detach itself from the
parent and form a new organism. Ex. Yeast and
Jellyfish
4. Parthenogenesis – occurs when the embryo of an organism can
grow and develop without fertilization. Example: Some species of
ants & Honeybees
