The document discusses various modes of reproduction in animals. It describes asexual reproduction methods like budding and fragmentation where offspring are clones of the parent. It also covers sexual reproduction, noting external fertilization in many fish and internal fertilization in most other animals. Five main types of sexual reproduction are outlined: oviparity, ovoviviparity, histotrophic viviparity, hemotrophic viviparity, and hermaphroditism in which an animal can change or have both sexes simultaneously. Examples are provided for each method.
