Does a frog

Like humans, animals also need to
reproduce. They have also their
own reproductive system that
makes them able to do such life
processes.
 Animals have the means to increase their number
through reproduction. This is to preserve their species
and to help in keeping the natural balance as they
interact with other animals. Different animals have
unique modes of reproduction. It can be noticed that
some animals can reproduce in large numbers like
insects, pigs, dogs, and frogs while some animals can
not. On the other hand, those big animals generally
reproduce in fewer number.
Which animals can reproduce in large number?

What are the animals that reproduce in fewer number?

 Reproduction involves the transfer of
characteristics of parents to their offspring or young.
During fertilization (meeting of egg and sperm cell),
genetic materials like DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
are shared by the parents to produce new organism
that may either be possessing unique characteristics
or having an exact copy of what the parent has.
Most of the animals like cats, dogs, butterflies, frogs,
and the like need a male and a female to reproduce. This
is called sexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction is a process of

creating offspring with the participation
of a sperm cells from the male parent
and an egg cells from the female
parent.

WEEK 4-DAY 2
Review:
Identify whether the following animals are reproducing sexually.
Write TWO PARENTS if the animal shows sexual reproduction.
Otherwise, write SINGLE PARENT.
How do animals reproduce?

Most animals can only produce a new

individual when two parents are present.
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
takes place when sex
cells from two parent
animals (one male and one
female) unite to form a new
animal.
Fertilization
= takes place when sex cells from two
parent animals (one male and one female)
unite to form a new animal.
Two types of Sex Cells or gametes
• Egg cell = for females
• Sperm cell = for male
Zygote = fertilized egg which develops to embryo.
Embryo = the early developmental stage of an animal while it
is in the egg or within the uterus of the mother.
Hermaphrodites = both male and female gametes are present in
the same individuals.
Example; earthworms and leeches
 Two Types of Fertilization
Internal Fertilization happens when the male animal
releases sperm cells into the body of the female
animal to fertilize the egg cell.
Example: Human, Duck, cats and dogs

External Fertilization occurs outside the bodies of

the parents. The female releases eggs into the water
or attaches them to a plant or rock. The male then
releases sperm cells over the eggs to fertilize them.
Most frogs and fishes undergo external fertilization.
INTERNAL FERTILIZATION
Butterfly fertilizes
by internal
fertilization in which
the sperm and ovum
fuses on the
female's body.
External Fertilization
Generally the frogs lay
eggs which occur through
external fertilization.
The female releases the
eggs in the water and the
male releases sperms in
water so that egg and
sperm can meet in the
water.
Using the table, identify if they reproduce through internal
or external fertilization by checking the correct column.

externally.

union of the sex cells happens outside the
body.

How do some animals reproduce with only

one parent?

Let’s Discuss It!

You have learned about how animals can reproduce
with two parents. However, some animals can
reproduce with just one parent.
Look at this picture.

What can you say about the picture?

 Asexual Reproduction in Animals
Asexual Reproduction does not need one male and
one female parent to reproduce an offspring. A single
parent organism simply makes identical copies of itself.

Methods of Asexual reproduction:

Binary Fission
Budding
 Asexual Reproduction in Animals
Binary Fission
Occurs when a parent animal
divides itself into two. Each half grows
into a new individual. Binary Fission is
also called Splitting. The sea anemone
is able to reproduce by binary fission.
This allows them to quickly grow
clusters of closely living groups or
colonies. The sea anemone splits its
polyps or body into halves, then it
grow into two new sea anemone.
Budding
Happens when an outgrowth of the
parent animal develops into a new animal.
Plants also develop a new plant through
budding. A bulge appears on the parent’s
body, grow into a bud, and eventually
becomes a miniature copy of the parents.
The young continues to grow while still
attached to the parent and eventually
detaches when it is mature enough to
survive by it self.

Look at the picture. Hydra can reproduce
asexually by producing
buds on its body which
become miniature
copies of the parent.
These buds detached
themselves when they
mature.
Advantages and disadvantages of asexual
reproduction in animals.
Advantages
1. The organism does not need a partner for it
to reproduce.
2. The organism develops faster than those
produced in sexual reproduction.

Disadvantages
1. Any disease or negative characteristics of the
parent will be passed onto the offspring since it
is very identical to the parent.
Make a Venn Diagram comparing the mode of
reproduction of fish and hydra.
How many parents is needed in
asexual reproduction?

In human, does asexual

reproduction applicable? Why?
Why is it said that Reproduction
in animals is best described as the
process of producing its own kind.

What are the two types of asexual

reproduction?
True or false: Write T if the statement is true and F false if not.
1. Asexual reproduction is making a copy of the organism with a
single parent.
2. Some tiny animals and marine animals, like sea anemone,
reproduce by binary fission.
3. Reproduction is the ability of a living thing to make copies of itself.
4. Budding happens when the parent animal divides itself into two.
5. Fission happens when an outgrowth of the parent animal develops
into new animal.

Observe the following pictures:

Which animal were born alive?

Which is hatched from egg?
Look at the pictures and describe if it is born alive or
hatched from egg.
Animals have different modes of reproduction.
Some animals are egg-laying while some are
born alive.

Egg-laying animals = animals that lay their

eggs to the environment. The laid eggs by the
female are developed outside her body.
Incubation period
= time between the laying of the egg and the hatching of the
young.

Born alive animals = animals that retain and nourish the

fertilized egg inside the body of the female parent. The fertilized
egg develops into an embryo that grows while receiving the
nourishment from the mother through the placenta.

Gestation = the time between fertilization and birth of the live

young animal.
What do you think is the advantage of born alive
animal?

Advantage of an animal that is born alive:

The mother can concentrate on taking care of only

few young. Even in the womb, one or two young
will be able to receive proper nourishment from the
mother.
Describe whether the following animals
are born alive or hatched from an egg.

1.duck
2. pig
3. horse
4. Maya
5. Cat
Can you name other animals
that are born alive and
hatched from egg?
Describe the difference between
animals that are born alive and
animals that are hatched from
eggs.
Draw a star if the statement described animals that born alive
and circle if it’s hatched from eggs.
1. Insects develop outside their mother’s body.
2. Elephants are born alive, looking like their mother.
3. It is a mode of reproduction where animals develop inside
their mother’s body.
4. It is a mode of reproduction where animals are hatch from
shell.
5. Unborn monkeys get nourishment from their mother while
they are still developing.
