How do you think

Zoologists are trying to
save and prevent the
extinction of these
animals?

Do you think captivity

can help endangered
animals, Justify your

What is SEXUAL REPRODUCTION?
Sexual Reproduction - occurs when the
sperm from the male parent fertilizes an egg
from the female parent, producing an
offspring.
Gametes – are specialized cells, also known as
sex cells (male and female gametes)
Egg cell – female gamete
Sperm cell – male gamete
Fertilization – sperm cell and egg cell nuclei fuse
forming a zygote
What’s the same? What’s different?
CHALLENGE!
In your own words, define
external and internal
fertilization

CRITICAL THINKING: Which of the type of

fertilization has the highest survival rate? How
do you know?
RECALL!

CRITICAL THINKING: Animals that do external fertilizations release lots of egg cells
compared to animals that do internal fertilization. What do you think is the reason for this?

You are a team of Zoologist. Your team

was assigned by the Ministry to design a
plan to rehabilitate and conserve at least
one species of mammal, bird, reptile,
fish from the ”red list”

To help you design a plan you must research and

The National Red List project, issued

c. Aftercare

d. Survival rate
INDEPENDENT TASK 1. Which features of
reproduction are the
(working scientifically) same for all mammals?

2. ‘Most reptiles use

external fertilisation’.
Do you think there is
enough data in the table
to be able to say this?
Explain your answer.

3. Describe the pattern

between the amount of
aftercare and the
survival rate.
Try to give a reason for
this pattern.
 PLENARY

A. Sexual reproduction involves egg and

sperm cell. D. Fishes produce more egg
cells than horses.
B. Birds do internal fertilization and internal
development.
E. Internal fertilization has a
lower rate of survival.
C. A zygote is formed after fertilization.
