Reproduction in

Animals and Other

Organisms
Fun Facts/Tell whether is Egg cell or Sperm cell

It is also known as ovum

Usually release during ovulation
Can lasts up to 24 hours
Can lasts up to 36 hours
Largest cell in the human body
A milliliter can have as many as 100 million
It has a tail and a head
Objectives
a. Differentiate sexual from asexual
reproduction
b. Describe different types of asexual
reproduction
c. Appreciate the wonders of
reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
- male and female gametes fuse during
fertilization

- offspring will
develop from the
fused genes with a
unique set of genetic
material
 Advantages and disadvantages of sexual
and asexual reproduction
Types Advantages
Sexual reproduction  The population is less
likely to catch diseases all
at once.
 Has more chances of
survival
 Has genetic variation.
Asexual reproduction -Only one parent
organism is needed to
reproduce.
 Faster than sexual
reproduction.
Disadvanatges
-Needs a partner to
reproduce.
 Takes more time to
reproduce.
-Has less surviving
chances due to the lack
of genetic variation.
 Population is more
likely to catch diseases at
the same time
What is the specific term for
reproductive cells?
What do we mean when we say lack of
genetic variation among organisms in
asexual reproduction?
 Monoecious or
Hermaphrodites
- Organisms with
both male &
female systems
- Flatworms &
Earthworms
 Usually occurs in aquatic
ASEXUAL sessile (steady/not moving
REPRODUCTIO organisms)
N
Cnidarians, Sponges &
Only one parent is Tunicates
needed Polychaetes and Planarians
Single parent produces
offspring that is
genetically identical to
it
Offspring develops
without meiosis or
fertilization
Binary Fission
Simplest process of asexual
reproduction wherein the
body of an organism divides
into new bodies

The organism duplicates its DNA then

separates, wherein both new bodies receive a
copy of the DNA of the original organism
Budding

Outgrowths or Buds
develop on the parent
organism
Buds may break off
and develop into a
new organism or
remain attached to
the parent organism
Fragmentation
An organism's body is
divided into 2 or more
parts, wherein each
fragment develops into an
organism like its parent

E.g. starfish, annelids

Parthenogenesis – occurs when the embryo of an
organism can grow and develop without fertilization. In
which an egg can develop into an embryo without being
fertilized by a sperm
Ex. Bees, aphids, and ants, komodo dragons, blacktip
sharks
How about a lizard’s tail that have grown
again after it lost its tail?

What are organisms that are possible

clones of their parents?
 Regeneration
Detached parts of
some organisms
can grow back
Tubal ligation and vasectomy as
procedures for birth control
During tubal ligation, the fallopian tubes are cut, tied or
blocked to permanently prevent pregnancy
Vasectomy
A vasectomy works by stopping sperm getting
into a man's semen, the fluid that he
ejaculates. The tubes that carry sperm from a
man's testicles to the penis are cut, blocked
or sealed with heat
Can you cite other birth control
methods?
What are your views for these
kind of procedures?
