    1. The document describes the modes of reproduction in various animals including butterflies, frogs, mosquitos, dogs, and cats. 2. It explains that all of these animals reproduce sexually through the union of sex cells from two parents to form a new individual. 3. The modes of reproduction vary between species, such as frogs mating in amplexus formation and releasing eggs and sperm together, while mosquitoes involve the male depositing sperm in the female's abdomen.

    5 Modes of Reproduction in Animals
    Quarter 2 Week 3

    What Is It
    How do animals such as butterflies, frogs, mosquitos, dogs, cats grow in number?
    Animals grow in number through the process called reproduction. Reproduction is the
    biological process by which an organism/s reproduce another individual (offspring) that is
    biologically similar to the organism. All of these animals – the butterflies, frogs, mosquitos,
    dogs, and cats reproduce sexually.
    Sexual reproduction takes place when sex cells from two-parent animals (one male and
    one female) unite to form a new animal through fertilization. The fertilized egg is called a
    zygote. Examples of animals that undergo sexual reproduction are butterflies, frogs,
    mosquitos, dogs, and cats. Though all of them reproduce sexually, they have different modes of
    reproduction. The following are their modes of reproduction:

    Butterflies The mating begins when the male butterfly detects a female butterfly
    releasing pheromones at close range. When the female accepts the male,
    the male attaches to the female's abdomen, injecting a sperm packet into
    her stomach that she stores until she decides to lay eggs. They may go on
    a courtship flight during mating that can last for an hour or more. As the
    eggs pass down the female butterfly's egg-laying tube, the sperm fertilizes
    them. Although male butterflies can mate more than once, female
    butterflies only mate once throughout their lives. About four days a female
    butterfly lays from 100 to 300 eggs during her life. The eggs hatch about
    four days after they are laid. When larvae first hatch, they are less than 1 centimeter (cm) and
    grow to be about 5 cm.

    All frogs reproduce sexually. The fertilization in frogs happens


    outside the female’s body. The female releases her eggs and the
    male releases his sperms at the same time. The male and
    female get into a mating posture called amplexus in which the
    male climbs onto the females back and clasps his forelegs
    around her middle to make sure that the sperms reach the
    eggs. They can stay in amplexus for hours or even days as the
    female releases as few as one or as many as several hundred
    eggs. Usually, about 6-21 days (average!) after being fertilized,
    the egg will hatch. Most eggs are found in calm or static waters,
    to prevent getting too rumbled about in infancy! Some frogs, like the Coast foam-nest tree frog,
    actually mate in tree branches overlooking static bonds and streams. The gestation period is
    approximately 33 days, for frogs gave birth 33 days after they were found in amplexus.
    Reproduction by mosquitoes begins with courtship. During mating, the male
    deposits sperm into the female through a small pouch in her abdomen. The female
    sucks the blood used to feed the fertilized egg. After mating and sucking down
    some blood, the female will rest for a few days to lay eggs in water, swamps, or
    anywhere with sufficient moisture.
    Male mosquitoes only live for about a week and have no purpose after mating with a female so
    mosquitoes only mate once. The female mosquito only requires the sex cells of one male for the
    rest of her life to produce a few batches of eggs. The entire life cycle, from an egg to an adult,
    takes approximately 8-10 days. Pupae develop into adult flying mosquitoes in 2-3 days. Female
    mosquitoes lay eggs inside containers holding water. Eggs are ready to hatch from a few days to
    several months after being laid.
    All frogs reproduce sexually. The fertilization in frogs happens outside the
    female’s body. The female releases her eggs and the male releases his sperms
    at the same time. The male and female get into a mating posture called
    amplexus in which the male climbs onto the females back and clasps his
    forelegs around her middle to make sure that the sperms reach the eggs. They
    can stay in amplexus for hours or even days as the female releases as few as
    one or as many as several hundred eggs. Usually, about 6-21 days (average!)
    after being fertilized, the egg will hatch. Most eggs are found in calm or static
    waters, to prevent getting too rumbled about in infancy! Some frogs, like the
    Coast foam-nest tree frog, actually mate in tree branches overlooking static
    bonds and streams. The gestation period is approximately 33 days, for frogs gave birth 33 days after they were
    found in amplexus.

    Dogs experience heat cycle which lasts for 3 weeks. It is the period when they
    ovulate, and can get pregnant which is common every 5-12 months. During the
    first week (Proestrus cycle) female’s vulva (outer part of their reproductive organ)
    swells and secretes blood and aromas that attract males. They act moody during
    this stage to both people and other dogs, swinging from affectionate to "snappy"
    and seem to like to "tease" the males cruelly: they'll lift their tail to allow a sniff,
    but will bite the male's head off if he tries to mount. In the second week (Estrus
    cycle) her vulva will still be swollen, but her vaginal discharge will usually stop
    having visible blood in it, she will ovulate, and is very ready for reproduction.
    Lastly, in week 3 (Diestrus cycle) or the last stage of being in heat, the female has
    already ovulated and is losing interest in reproduction. The length of pregnancy in dogs is 61-65 days average
    63 days. This means that about 63 days after a dog is impregnated it will have its litter. Small dogs should
    always be bred with a male dog that is smaller than the female.

    Cats can go into heat at any time of year, just like dogs. They stay in heat about
    5-15 days but unlike dogs will keep going back into heat every 1-3 weeks until
    they ovulate and are unlikely to ovulate until there is contact with a male cat.
    This means that they do not ovulate (pass an egg) unless they are bred.
    Reproduction begins through the estrous (reproductive) cycle when they reach
    puberty. They are likely to ovulate until there is contact with a male animal.
    When in heat they make more noise or meows louder and more frequent. They
    become much more affectionate toward people, weaves in and out of their legs,
    rubs against them, shakes her pelvis, and rolls about on the floor, and "flags"
    her tail. A cat pregnancy last about 63-65 days. So, a cat can have kittens when
    they are young as 4 months or 6 months old.
