reproduction in animals such as
butterflies, mosquitoes, frogs, cats
and dogs (S5 LT-IIe-5)

REPRODUCTION
REPRODUCTION
It is one of the important life process,
which ensures the continuation of similar
kinds of individuals´ generation after
generation.
There are two modes by which animals
reproduce. These are Sexual
reproduction and Asexual reproduction
 Methods of
Reproduction
Sexual and Asexual Reproduction
Sexual Reproduction:
Requiring 2 parents (egg & sperm)
Combining different genetic material.
Some animals produce offspring when
two parents are present . It is the process
of reproduction in which the fusion of
male and female gametes takes place
These animals are born
alive and hatched from
eggs. Like goats, dogs,
cats, frogs cows,
chickens and many
other animals.
Fertilization:
The fusion of ovum and the
sperm is called fertilization.
 Internal Fertilization
 Fertilization that takes place inside the female body
that is in aquatic medium is called internal
Fertilization. This is observed in human beings and
other animals such as cows , dogs, horse and cats.
 Internal fertilization occurs in mammals, insects, birds,
reptiles.
 Mammals (gorillas, lions, elephants, rats, zebras, and
dolphins have live births)
 Insects, birds, reptiles lay eggs
 Zygote:
During fertilization, the nuclei of the
sperm and the egg are fused to form a
single nucleus. This fertilized egg is called
zygote.

Embryo:
The zygote divides repeatedly to give rise
to a ball of cells. The cells begin to
differentiate into various tissues. This
developing structure is called an embryo
Viviparous:
Animals such as human beings, cows
and dogs which give birth to young ones
are called Viviparous animals. They
reproduce through internal fertilization.
Oviparous:
Animals such as hen, frog, snake, turtle
and butterfly which lay eggs are called
Oviparous animals. These animals also
reproduce through internal fertilization.
 External Fertilization
External fertilization usually requires a medium
such as water, which the sperms can use to swim
towards the egg cell. External fertilization
usually occur in fish and amphibians.
The females lay the eggs in the water and the
male squirts the sperm in the
same area. Fertilization that takes place outside
the female body that is aquatic medium is
called external fertilization. This is observed in
frogs, fish, starfish.

 ASEXUAL
REPRODUCTIO
N
Asexual Reproduction
is the reproduction that do not need one
male and one female to produce an
offspring. A single parent organism
simple makes identical copies of itself.
It occurs in prokaryotic microorganisms
(bacteria and archaea) and in many
eukaryotic, single-celled and multi-celled
organisms.
Methods of asexual
reproduction:
Binary fission
Budding
Metamorphosis
Binary fission
Single-celled organisms
(Amoeba, paramecium,
euglena) which use
asexual reproduction can
do so simply by dividing
into two equal halves.
This is called binary
fission.
 When conditions are good, such as plenty
of water, food, right temperatures, etc.,
binary fission is a very effective way of
producing many, many offspring.
 For example, the cell of a Paramecium can
divide, grow, and divide again in the space
of 8 hours.
 Budding- an offspring grows out
of the body of the parent.

Hydra Budding

Cactus Budding
 Budding

In yeasts the cell does

not divide equally in
two halves; instead,
there is a large mother
cell and a smaller
daughter cell.
Yeast - budding
In hydra, new individuals develop from
buds. This method of asexual
production is called budding. Budding
in Hydra
Bud:
A lateral outgrowth from the parent
body that assumes the shape of parent
 METAMORPHOSIS
is the drastic change which transforms a larva
into an adult is called Metamorphosis. The
process of developing from a larva to the
recognizable adult form is called
metamorphosis. Most insects go through some
form of metamorphosis. In some insect species,
the transition to adulthood involves relatively
minor changes, but, in the majority of species, it
is a drastic and profound transformation. Like
mosquito, butterfly, etc.
METAMORPHOSIS
OF MOSQUITO
Reproduction in butterflies
begins with courtship,
during which the male
vigorously flaps its wings,
releasing a dust of
microscopic scales carrying
pheromones above the
female's antennae.
