This document provides an overview of animal reproduction and development. It discusses both asexual and sexual reproduction mechanisms in animals. For sexual reproduction, it describes the processes of gamete production, fertilization, and embryonic development. Fertilization can be external or internal. Embryonic development involves cleavage, gastrulation, and organogenesis. Amniotes develop in extraembryonic membranes within the mother. Young can be precocial or altricial at birth depending on their stage of development.

Welcome to the fascinating world of reproduction in animals! In this chapter, we delve into the essential processes that ensure the continuation of life. Reproduction, the biological phenomenon that gives rise to new generations, comes in various forms. From the simple and efficient asexual reproduction to the complex and diverse realm of sexual reproduction, animals have evolved unique strategies to perpetuate their species.
As we journey through this chapter, we'll explore the mechanisms of asexual reproduction, where a single parent can give rise to offspring with identical genetic traits. On the other hand, sexual reproduction involves the intricate dance between male and female gametes, contributing to the creation of offspring with a blend of characteristics from both parents.
Get ready to unravel the mysteries of the male and female reproductive systems, understand the significance of gametes, and explore the miraculous process of fertilization. Join us as we venture into the captivating world of reproduction in animals, where life's intricate tapestry is woven through the delicate threads of birth, growth, and continuity.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. INTRODUCTION
Animal reproduction takes
many forms
Animal form and function can
be viewed broadly as
adaptations contributing to
reproductive success.
Both asexual and sexual
reproduction occur in the
animal kingdom.
3. Sexual reproduction
Is the creation of an offspring
by fusion
of a male gamete (sperm)
and female gamete (egg)
to form a zygote
6. Mechanisms of Asexual
Reproduction
Many invertebrates
reproduce asexually.
One of these is by the
process of fission.
FISSION: Is the separation of
a parent into two or more
individuals of about the
same size.
FISSION OF AN
AMOEBA
7. Fission of a sea anemone to producer
two daughter organisms
8. Second method: BUDDING
In budding, new individuals arise
from outgrowths of existing ones
BUDDING OF A
HYDRA
9. Third method: FRAGMENTATION
Is breaking of the body into pieces,
some or all of which develop into
adults.
Fragmentation must be accompanied
by regeneration - regrowth of lost
body parts
FRAGMENTATION AND
REGENERATION OF SEA STARS
10. Fourth method: Parthenogenesis
Is the development of a new
individual from an unfertilized egg
12. Introduction to sexual
Reproduction in animals
Almost all eukaryotic species
reproduce sexually.
Sexual reproduction results in
genetic recombination –
variation within species.
13. Genetic recombination provides
potential advantages:
1. An increase in variation in offspring,
2. An increase in the reproductive
success of parents in changing
environments.
3. An increase in the rate of
adaptation.
4. Elimination of harmful genes from
a population.
15. REPRODUCTION CYCLES AND
PATTERNS
Ovulation is the release of mature
eggs at the midpoint of a female cycle.
Most animals exhibit reproductive
cycles related to changing seasons.
Reproductive cycles are controlled by
hormones and environmental cues
16. Animals may reproduce asexually or
sexually, or they may alternate these
methods.
Lizards reproduce only by a complex form
of parthenogenesis that involves the
doubling of chromosomes after
meiosis
Asexual whiptail lizards are descended
from a sexual species, and females still
exhibit mating behaviours.
18. Sexual reproduction is a special
problem for organisms that
seldom encounter a mate.
One solution is hermaphroditism,
in which each individual has male
and female reproductive systems
Some hermaphrodites can self-
fertilize.
C. elegans makes both sperm
and eggs and can reproduce
by self-fertilization.
19. Individuals of some species undergo
sex reversals
Some species exhibit male to
female reversal (for example,
certain oysters),
while others exhibit female to male
reversal (for example, a coral reef
fish)
21. Ensuring the Survival of Offspring
All species produce more
offspring than the environment
can handle.
The proportion that survives is
small.
Species with external fertilization
produce more gametes than
species with internal fertilization.
22. Species with internal fertilization
provide greater protection of the
embryos and more parental care.
The embryos of some terrestrial animals
develop in amniote eggs with
protective layers.
Other animals retain the embryo,
which develops inside the female.
In many animals, parental care helps
ensure survival of offspring.
26. Gamete Production and Delivery
Sexually reproducing animals have
systems producing gametes.
These individuals have gonads -
organs producing gametes.
Male gonads : Testis
Female gonads: Ovaries
Some gametes form from
undifferentiated tissue.
28. Complex systems contain many
sets of:
accessory tubes
and glands that
carry
nourish,
and protect gametes and
developing embryos.
29. Some organisms have a cloaca:
is a common opening between
the external environment and the
digestive, excretory, and
reproductive systems
Common in non-mammalian
vertebrates;
Mammals usually have a
separate opening to the digestive
tract.
31. Monogamy is relatively rare
among animals.
Males and/or females which
have mechanisms to decrease
the chance of their mate mating
with another individual.
37. Three Methods of reproduction in
which eggs are laid and embryos
develop
Ovipary
Ovovivipary
Vivipary
38. OVIPARYOUS ORGANISMS
Reproduction in which eggs are laid
and embryos develop outside the
mother's body.
Each egg eventually hatching into a
young animal.
Little or no development occurs within
the mother's body.
Most invertebrates and many
vertebrates reproduce in this way.
39. Ovoviviparous:
Animals produce eggs, but instead
of laying the eggs, the eggs develop
within the mother's body.
The young eat unfertilized eggs in
the womb for nourishment
The young are born alive
without placental attachment
(umbilical cord),
as certain reptiles, fishes, sharks,
insects.
40. VIVIPAROUS
Where the embryo develops
within the uterus.
and is nourished through a
yolk sac placenta from the
mother’s blood.
Young are born alive.
most mammals and some
reptiles and fishes.
44. Introduction to animal development
The question of how a zygote becomes
an animal?
The first step is cell division (mitosis)
Second step: Cell differentiation (Is the
specialization of cells in structure and
function)
Third step: Morphogenesis (Is the
process by which an animal takes
shape.)
46. Fertilization
Fertilization depends on
mechanisms that bring together
sperm and eggs of the same
species.
All fertilization requires:
critical timing,
mediated by:
environmental cues,
pheromones, and/or
courtship behaviour.
49. Internal Fertilization
In internal fertilization,
sperm are deposited in or near the
female reproductive tract,
and fertilization occurs within the
tract
51. PROCESS OF FERTILIZATION
Fertilization brings the haploid nuclei
of sperm and egg together, forming a
diploid zygote.
The sperm’s contact with the egg’s
surface initiates metabolic reactions
in the egg that trigger the onset of
embryonic development.
Metabolic reactions:
Acrosomal reaction
Cortical reaction
52. ACROSOMAL REACTION
Triggered when the sperm meets
the egg.
The acrosome, at the tip of the
sperm releases hydrolytic enzymes
that digest material surrounding the
egg.
Gamete contact depolarizes the
egg cell membrane and sets up a
fast block to polyspermy.
58. The Cortical Reaction
Initiated by the fusion of egg and
sperm.
It causes a rise in Ca2+.
This stimulates cortical granules to
release their contents outside the
egg.
Cause formation of a fertilization
envelope (functions as a slow
block to polyspermy.)
59. Rise of calcium in egg and
formation of fertilization envelope
60. Activation of the Egg
The sharp rise in Ca2+ in the egg’s
cytosol increases the rates of
cellular respiration and protein
synthesis by the egg cell.
Now the egg is said to be activated.
The sperm nucleus merges with the
egg nucleus to form a diploid
zygote and cell division begins.
62. 1. CLEAVAGE
A period of rapid cell division
without growth.
This creates a hollow ball of cells
called a blastula.
The blastula consists of many
smaller cells called blastomeres
The hollow part of the blastula is
filled with fluid and called a
blastocoel.
64. Two types of cleavage
Meroblastic cleavage, incomplete
division of the egg, occurs in species
with yolk-rich eggs, such as reptiles
and birds.
Holoblastic cleavage, complete
division of the egg, occurs in species
whose eggs have little or moderate
amounts of yolk, such as sea urchins
and frogs
65. 2. Gastrulation
Gastrulation –
rearranges the cells of a
blastula into a three-layered
embryo, called a gastrula,
which has a primitive gut
(archenteron)and opens in a
blastopore.
66. Three embryonic germ layers
of the gastrula
The ectoderm forms the outer
layer
The endoderm lines the
digestive tract.
The mesoderm partly fills the
space between the endoderm
and ectoderm.
68. 3. ORGANOGENESIS
During organogenesis, various
regions of the germ layers
develop into organs.
Early in vertebrate
organogenesis, the notochord
forms from mesoderm, and the
neural plate forms from
ectoderm.
70. The neural plate soon curves
inward, forming the neural tube
The neural tube will become
the central nervous system
(brain and spinal cord).

73. Developmental Adaptations of
Amniotes
Embryos of birds, other reptiles,
and mammals develop in a fluid-
filled sac in a shell or the uterus
Organisms with these adaptations
are called amniotes.
74. During amniote development, four
extraembryonic membranes form around
the embryo:
The chorion functions in gas exchange
The amnion encloses the amniotic fluid
The yolk sac encloses the yolk
The allantois disposes of waste products
and contributes to gas exchange.
77. At birth the young may be well-developed
and able to move about at once, this is
called precocial development.
If at birth the young are maybe blind,
hairless, and essentially helpless, it is
called altricial development.
In general, precocial young are born after
a relatively long gestation period and in a
small litter.
Hares and many large grazing mammals
bear precocial offspring.
Rabbits, carnivores, and most rodents
bear altricial young.
