SCIENCE 5
Most animals can only produce a new individual when two parents are
present. This is called sexual reproduction. Cats, chickens, dogs and many other
animals reproduce by sexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction takes place when sex cells from two parent animals
(one male and one female) unite to form a new animal. This is in the process of
fertilization.
Fertilization takes place when the sperm cell of the male parent unites
with the egg cell of the female parent. The fertilized egg is called a zygote which
develops into an embryo. The embryo undergoes continuous development until it
eventually grows into a newborn animal. Fertilization in animals may be internal or
external.
2
Internal fertilization happens when the male animal releases sperm cells
into the body of the female animal to fertilize the egg cell. The embryo can either
develop inside the female body until it is born alive or develop inside an egg laid by
the female. Cats, insects, birds and cows undergo internal fertilization.
External fertilization occurs outside the bodies of the parents. The female
releases eggs into the water or attaches them to a plant or rock. The male then
releases sperm cells over the eggs to fertilize them. Frogs and fishes undergo
external fertilization.
Animals that lay eggs or hatched from eggs are called oviparous. Examples
of oviparous animals are birds, snakes, frogs, turtles, lizards and insects like
butterflies and mosquitoes.
Oviparous Animals
Animals that are born alive are viviparous animals. Cats, cows, dogs and
whales are some examples of viviparous animals. Their young look like them.

Great job! It seemed that the lesson was really
clear for you. Let’s see how much you really have
learned by doing the next activity. I hope you can do it.
Activity 3
Fill out the table below. Check the column if the following animals are
hatched from egg or born alive. Then write in the last column if they are oviparous
or viviparous.
