1. Reproduction can be either sexual or asexual. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote, while asexual reproduction involves a single parent.
2. In sexual reproduction, gametogenesis is the formation of gametes, which fuse during fertilization to form a zygote. In animals, fertilization can be either internal or external.
3. After fertilization, the zygote undergoes cell division and differentiation during embryogenesis to form a new organism. In animals, development can be either oviparous, with eggs laid externally, or viviparous, with development inside the parent's body.
2. Life Span :
Period from birth to natural death of
an organism is said to be its life span.
Only single celled organisms are
immortal
3. REPRODUCTION
(Process of formation of young ones from an organism)
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Two parents of opposite sex Single parent
4. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Modes of Asexual Reproduction :
•Protist , Monera
•Parent cell – Mitosis – 2 new
individuals
CELL DIVISION
•Amoeba , Paramecium
•Plant cell 2halves Each half grows
into adult
BINARY
FISSION
•Yeast
•Small buds are form in parent cell
separated grow and mature into
adult
BUD
FORMATION
•Plants
•Vegetative propagules : RUNNER,
RHIZOME, SUCKER, TUBER,
OFFSET,BULB
VEGETATIVE
PROPAGATION
•Hydra
•Parent body Break into fragments
each fragment grow into adult
FRAGMENTATION
Clone
Offsprings in asexual reproduction
are genetically and morphologically
similar to each other and to their
parents. Such genetically and
morphologically similar individuals
are known as clone.
8. PHASES OF LIFE
• Period of growth
• In plants known as vegetative phase
JUVENILE PHASE
• Reproductively active (Attain maturity)
• In plants: Flower
• In animals: Morphological & physiological changes
(Controlled by hormones and environmental factors)
REPRODUCTIVE
PHASE
• End of reproductive phase leads to old age
• Slow down metabolism
• Leads to death
OLD AGE /
SENESCENCE
Females of placental mammals in reproductive
phase shows cyclical changes in their reproductive
system:
OESTRUS CYCLE MENSTRAUL CYCLE
Non primate
mammals:
Cow, Sheep, Rat
etc.
Primate
mammals:
Human, Apes,
Monkey
SEASONAL
BREEDERS
CONTINOUS
BREEDERS
MAMMALS
Reproductively active in
certain seasons during
reproductive phase
Reproductively active
throughout the
reproductive phase
Transition between phases of life is controlled
by HORMONES
9. EVENTS IN SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
PRE - FERTILIZATION
FERTILIZATION
POST - FERTILIZATION
• Gametogenesis
• Gamete Transfer
• Fusion of Gametes
• Zygote
• Embryogenesis
10. PRE - FERTILIZATION
GAMETOGENESIS: Formation of male & female gametes
Gametes are HAPLOID
GAMETES
HOMOGAMETES HETEROGAMETES
• Both gametes are
similar in appearance.
• Can’t distinguish
between male and
female gametes
• E.g. Cladophora
• Both gametes are
morphologically distinct.
• Can distinguish between
male and female gametes.
• Male gamete :
ANTHEROZOID/SPERM
• Female gamete :
EGG/OVUM
• E.g. Fucus (An algae)
PLANTS
UNISEXUAL/DIECIOUS/
HETEROTHALLIC
• Male & Female
reproductive
structures are in
different plants.
• Male flower:
Staminate
• Female flower:
Pistilate
• E.g. Date palm &
Papaya
BISEXUAL/MONECIOUS
/HOMOTHALLIC
• Male & Female
reproductive
structures are in
same plant.
• E.g. Cucurbits &
Coconut
12. Gamete transfer
Male

• Motile

• Non - motile
Exception
Few fungi &
Algae: Both
Gametes are
motile
ANTHER of

Male gametes
released near
to the eggs
GAMETE TRANSFER IN UNISEXUAL PLANTS: KNOWN AS CROSS FERTILIZING PLANTS
GAMETE TRANSFER IN BISEXUAL PLANTS: KNOWN AS SELF FERTILIZING PLANTS
GAMETE TRANSFER IN ALGAE, BRYOPHYTE, PTERIDOPHYTE: THROUGH WATER
13. POST – FERTILIZATION EVENTS
ZYGOTE - DIPLOID
External fertilization: Zygote formation is outside the body
Internal fertilization: Zygote formation is inside the body
Further development of zygote
Fungi &
Algae
• Zygote – Cover with a thick wall (to
protect from dessication & damage –
period of rest – germinate
Haploid
organisms
• Zygote – divide by meosis – Haploid
spores – new organisms
Vital link that ensure continuity
of species between organisms
of one generation to the next
14. FERTILIZATION / SYNGAMY
FUSION OF GAMETES
Results in the formation of ZYGOTE
PARTHENOGENESIS
• Female gamete develop without
fertilization
• Rotifers
• Honey bees
• Some lizards
• Some birds (Turkey)
FERTILIZATION
EXTERNAL
FERTILIZATION
INTERNAL
FERTILIZATION
• Fertilization occur in
external medium (water).
• Aquatic organisms: algae,
fish, amphibians
• Large number of offsprings.
• Offsprings are vulnerable
to predators. So, difficult
to survive until adulthood.
• Fertilization occur inside the body
• Terrestrial organisms: Fungi, mammals,
reptiles, most birds & plants
• Motile male gamete – fuse with female
gamete inside the female body
• Large no. of male gametes ; Less no. of
female gametes; Less no. of offsprings
15. Embryogenesis
NEW ORGANISM
MITOSIS & CELL DIFFERENTIATION
MITOSIS: Increase number of cells
CELL DIFFERENTIATION: Cells undergo modifications to
form specialized tissues & organs to form an organisms
ZYGOTE
