Module 1 COMPARE AND CONTRAST PROCESSES IN PLANTS AND ANIMALS
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
Definition of Terms
1. Asexual Reproduction - Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion
of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either
unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the full set of genes of their single parent. Asexual reproduction is the
primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as archaea and bacteria.
2. Sexual Reproduction - Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves a complex life cycle in which
a gamete (such as a sperm or egg cell) with a single set of chromosomes (haploid) combines with another to
produce a zygote that develops into an organism composed of cells with two sets of chromosomes (diploid).
3. Fission - Fission occurs when a neutron slams into a larger atom, forcing it to excite and split into two smaller
atoms—also known as fission products. Additional neutrons are also released that can initiate a chain reaction.
When each atom splits, a tremendous amount of energy is released.
4. Fragmentation - In general, fragmentation refers to the state or the process of breaking into smaller parts, called
fragments. In biology, it may refer to the reproductive fragmentation process as a form of asexual reproduction or
to a step in certain cellular activities, such as apoptosis and DNA cloning.
5. Budding - budding, in biology, a form of asexual reproduction in which a new individual develops from some
generative anatomical point of the parent organism. In some species buds may be produced from almost any point
of the body, but in many cases budding is restricted to specialized areas.
6. Sporulation - Sporulation is the formation of nearly dormant forms of bacteria . In a limited number of bacteria,
spores can preserve the genetic material of the bacteria when conditions are inhospitable and lethal for the normal
(vegetative) form of the bacteria.
7. Isogamy - Isogamy is a form of sexual reproduction that involves gametes of the same
morphology (indistinguishable in shape and size), found in most unicellular eukaryotes. Because both gametes
look alike, they generally cannot be classified as male or female.
8. Heterogamy – n reproductive biology, heterogamy is the alternation of differently organized generations, applied
to the alternation between parthenogenetic and a sexual generation. This type of heterogamy occurs for example
in some aphids.
9. Bisexual Reproduction – sexuality, in biology, the condition of an organism capable of producing both male and
female gametes (sex cells).
10. Development – The series of changes which animal and vegetable organisms undergo in their passage from the
embryonic state to maturity, from a lower to a higher state of organization. 3. (Science: mathematics) The act or
process of changing or expanding an expression into another of equivalent value or meaning.
11. Haploid – Haploid is the quality of a cell or organism having a single set of chromosomes. Organisms that
reproduce asexually are haploid. Sexually reproducing organisms are diploid (having two sets of chromosomes,
one from each parent). In humans, only their egg and sperm cells are haploid.
12. Diploid – Diploid is a cell or organism that has paired chromosomes, one from each parent. In humans, cells other
than human sex cells, are diploid and have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Human sex cells (egg and sperm cells)
contain a single set of chromosomes and are known as haploid.
13. Gametogenesis – gametogenesis, in embryology, the process by which gametes, or germ cells, are produced in an
organism. The formation of egg cells, or ova, is technically called oogenesis, and the formation of sperm cells, or
spermatozoa, is called spermatogenesis.
14. Fertilization – fertilization can be defined as the union of two haploid gametes, the spermatozoa and the oocyte,
hereto referred to as egg, to restore the diploid state, form a zygote through the process of egg activation, and
commence a series of mitotic divisions that results in cell differentiation and embryo development.
15. Cleavage – In developmental biology, cleavage is the division of cells in the early embryo, following fertilization.
The zygotes of many species undergo rapid cell cycles with no significant overall growth, producing a cluster of
cells the same size as the original zygote.
16. Gastrulation – Gastrulation is defined as an early developmental process in which an embryo transforms from a
one-dimensional layer of epithelial cells (blastula) and reorganizes into a multilayered and multidimensional
structure called the gastrula.
17. Organogenesis – Organogenesis is the process by which the three germ tissue layers of the embryo, which are the
ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm, develop into the internal organs of the organism.
18. Growth – Growth is the irreversible increase of an organism's size over a given period. It may also be defined as
one of the characteristics of a living thing. In biology, “biological growth” is associated with progressive
development. An organism's growth may go on throughout its life, or end when that species is fully mature.
19. Follicular Phase – The follicular phase starts on the first day of menstruation and ends with ovulation. Prompted
by the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland releases follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). This hormone stimulates
the ovary to produce around five to 20 follicles (tiny nodules or cysts), which bead on the surface.
20. Ovulation – Ovulation is the release of an egg from one of a woman's ovaries. After the egg is released, it travels
down the fallopian tube, where fertilization by a sperm cell may occur.

WHAT’S NEW
PRE-ACTIVITY:

1. Differentiate Asexual Reproduction and Sexual Reproduction.

Answer: Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number
of chromosomes. The offspring that arise by asexual reproduction from either unicellular or multicellular organisms inherit the
full set of genes of their single parent. Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled
organisms such as archaea and bacteria while Sexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves a complex life
cycle in which a gamete (such as a sperm or egg cell) with a single set of chromosomes (haploid) combines with another
to produce a zygote that develops into an organism composed of cells with two sets of chromosomes (diploid).

2. Identify the types of asexual reproduction and give examples.

Types of Asexual Reproduction Examples


1. Budding Bacteria
2. Fragmentation Cutting a worm into a piece
3. Vegetative Reproduction Begonia and Bryophyllum
4. Binary Fission Protozoa

3. Summarize the differences between asexual and sexual reproduction.


Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction

Number of Parents One parent Two parents


Involved
Gametes No fusion of gametes Male gametes are called sperm, and
female gametes are called eggs or
ova.
Genetic Genetically identical to the parent Each parent contributes half of the
composition of genes acquired (at random) by the
offspring offspring.

What’s More
Activity: Identify and Describe the types of Life cycles.

Types of Life Cycles Description


1. Haplontic life cycle Cells that spend most of their lives in a haploid
phase.
2. Diplontic life cycle Most of the organism’s life is spent with most of the
cells in the body being diploid.
3. Diplobiontic life cycle The life cycle in which the haploid phase is
followed by two successive diploid generations.

What I have Learned


1. A capacitor is charged to a potential of 12.0 V and then connected to a voltmeter having an internal
resistance of 3.40 MΩ. After a time of 4.00 s the voltmeter reads 3.0 V. What are (a) the capacitance and
(b) the time constant of the circuit?

Answer: r =3.40 x 106 x C


2. A 12.4-µF capacitor is connected through a 0.895-MΩ resistor to a constant potential difference of 60.0 V.
(a) Compute the charge on the capacitor at the following times after the connections are mad: 0, 5.0 s,
10.0 s, 20.0 s, and 100.0 s. (b) Compute the charging currents at the same instants.
Answer:

A) The formula for the charge on the plate of a capacitor is given by.
Q = CV
Now at a time of 0 seconds connection, it means voltage can't change yet and as a result V = 0 and as such Q =
0 too.
B) The formula for the charge on the plate of the capacitor, at any given time(t) after connection is given by the
relationship.
Q = CV (1 - e^(⁻t/RC))
Q = 756 μC
