ANIMAL REPRODUCTION

Reproduction
A fundamental biological
process in which new
individual organisms
("offspring") are produced
from their "parents"
Ensures the continuity of
the species
Reproduction
◉ Asexual Reproduction:
Parent produces genetically similar/identical offspring
◉ Sexual Reproduction:
Production of gametes (sex cells) via meiosis
Fusion of male and female gametes (fertilisation)
Fragmentation
Parthenogenesis

Types of Reproduction

Asexual Reproduction
Budding
Organism develops from an
outgrowth due to cell division at a
particular site on parent
E.g. sponges, corals, jellyfish, hydra
Fragmentation
Parthenogenesis
Types of Reproduction
in animals
Asexual Reproduction
Budding
Organism is split into fragments, each
of which develop into mature clones
May or may not be intentional
E.g. sponges, corals and echinoderms
Fragmentation
Parthenogenesis
Types of Reproduction

Asexual Reproduction
Budding
in animals
Organism (embryo) develops from
an unfertilized egg cell (after
meiosis)
Half clones or full clones
E.g. insects, some reptiles (lizards,
komodo dragon), sharks
Types of Reproduction
in animals
Sexual Reproduction
Five modes of reproduction
Hermaphroditism
(1) Ovuliparity
External fertilisation (egg cells
released into the environment and
fertilised by males)
Molluscs, arthropods, fishes and
most frogs
Types of Reproduction

Sexual Reproduction
Five modes of reproduction
Hermaphroditism
(2) Oviparity
- Internal fertilisation
- Lay eggs
- Little embryonic development
in mother
Most fish, amphibians, reptiles, all
birds, monotremes

Sexual Reproduction

Hermaphroditism
(3) Ovoviviparity
- Internal fertilisation
- Embryos develop in eggs and
hatch within parent
- Give birth to live young
- No placenta
Some fish, amphibians and reptiles
in animals
Sexual Reproduction
Five modes of reproduction
Hermaphroditism
Viviparity
Development of embryo within
parent (give birth to live young)

Sexual Reproduction
Five modes of reproduction
Hermaphroditism
(4) Histotrophic viviparity
Embryos acquire nutrients from:
1) other tissues (skin/glands)
2) oophagy (feeding on eggs
produced by ovary); e.g. some sharks
3) adelphophagy (fetus feeds on
sibling embryos); e.g. marine snails
and worms, some sharks

Hermaphroditism
(5) Hemotrophic viviparity
Embryo acquires nutrients from
female (often from placenta)
E.g. most mammals

Sexual Reproduction
Five modes of reproduction
Hermaphroditism
Organism can have both male and
female reproductive organs
(A) Sequential hermaphrodites
Individual born as one sex but can
later change into the opposite sex
(B) Simultaneous hermaphrodites
Individual has both male and female
sexual organs at the same time (A) (B)
Group Activity
Kangaroo Slug Great White
Shark
Starfish Scorpion
Komodo
Dragon
Human Sea
Anemone
Clownfish Seahorse
Jellyfish Aphid Sea Turtle Cuckoo Frog
25 min to research and prepare a 5 min presentation on reproduction in 3 animals!
Guiding Questions
◉ How does mating take place?
◉ What is/are the method(s) of reproduction?
○ E.g. number of mates? length of gestation? how
does the animal give birth? number of young?
◉ Do parents care for the young?
◉ Any interesting facts?
◉ What are the advantages/disadvantages of such a
method of reproduction?
Thanks!
