Dear Learner,
Good day!
In this week, you will learn to describe the different ways of how
representative animals reproduce. S11/12LT-IIej- 15
Specifically, you will learn the following:
1. identify types of asexual reproduction;
2. discuss the advantages and disadvantages of sexual and asexual
reproduction; and
3. differentiate asexual and sexual reproduction.

In this lesson, we integrated the value of survival & reproduction to


achieve continuation of species/ continuity of life.

Types of Animal Reproduction

Activity 1
Guess the Riddle!

Instructions: Read the riddles below and try to answer it. Write your
answer on the space provided.

1. I am a twelve-letter word. They need me to produce many species.


Without me the world is empty. Who am I?
(2points) _______________________________________

2. I am a two-word words, my first word is six letters and my second


word is twelve letters. You need a partner to produce the others.
Without a mate you cannot create. Who am I?
(2points)_________________________________________

3. I am two-word words. Seven letters is my first word and the second


word is twelve letters. I don’t need anybody to produce somebody. I
can do it alone to create my own. Who am I?

Activity 3
(copy this on your notebook)
Instructions: Please read comprehensively

From our previous lesson of mitosis and meiosis, we know that


cellular division plays an important role in reproduction. The relationship
between these two processes is vital to animal reproduction. Some
organisms like cows, sheep, and dogs will require two parent organisms
(sexual reproduction) in order to reproduce an offspring, while others do
not (asexual reproduction).

Sexual vs. Asexual

Figure 2.1 shows how sexual and asexual reproduction produces offspring.
In an asexual reproduction, a parent organism will not need a mate or
partner for it to produce its own offspring. The offspring of asexual
organisms are an exact same copy of its parent organism.
In sexual reproduction, a male and female gamete is needed in order
to produce an offspring. In most instances, there is a male and female

2
organism to produce the gametes but, this isn’t always the case. Finding a
partner for sexual animals can sometimes prove difficult, and so, as an
adaptive mechanism and evolutionary solution, some animals exhibit
hermaphroditism. This is when an organism has both male and female
reproductive system. This is common among sessile (stationary) animals. In
hermaphroditism, the organism may or may not have a partner for
fertilization to occur. Unlike, an asexual offspring, a sexual offspring is
genetically unique from its parent organisms. Notice how there are two
apparent sexes in sexual organisms, while there is no definite sex in the
asexual organism.

Types of Asexual Reproduction

1. Binary Fission – occurs in single celled organisms. It is when a parent


cell divides itself into two equal parts and creates an offspring. This type of
reproduction is like cloning as shown in figure 3. To easily remember and
understand the reproduction process of binary fission it is valuable to
remember what the terms mean. The word binary means something having
two parts (the new daughter bacteria) while the word fission means the
movement of splitting (the dividing of two equal parts). Ex. Bacteria

2. Fragmentation – occurs when an organism breaks a part of itself into a


fragment, and the fragment develops into a new organism as shown in figure
4. Ex. Starfish & acoel flatworms

3
3. Budding – happens when a parent organism grows a bud attached to its
body. When the bud is developed it will detach itself from the parent and form a
new organism. Ex. Yeast and Jellyfish

4. Parthenogenesis – occurs when the embryo of an organism can grow


and develop without fertilization.
Example: Some species of ants & Honeybees.

Activity 4

Instructions: Identify the type of reproduction described in the organisms in


column A. Write your answer in column B. (7points)
Column A Column B
1. A single organism that functions as
both the male and female in reproduction.
2. An organism that requires both a male
and a female to reproduce.
3. This organism breaks a part of itself to
reproduce.
4. A male and a female pig mate to
reproduce piglets.
5. This organism’s embryo does not need
fertilization to develop into an offspring.
6. This organism divides itself into two equal
parts to reproduce.
7. An organism that grows buds to
reproduce.
