The key takeaways are that all living things must reproduce to replace themselves when they die and ensure continuity of their species. Reproduction can occur through sexual reproduction, which requires a male and female parent, or asexual reproduction which only requires one parent. Heredity, or inherited traits, are passed down from parents to offspring.

Sexual reproduction requires two parents - a male and female. It produces offspring that are genetically different from the parents. Asexual reproduction only requires one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. Common forms of asexual reproduction are fission, budding and regeneration.

Fertilization occurs when a sperm cell fuses or joins with an egg cell. It can be internal, where fertilization happens inside the female's body, or external, where it happens outside the body. Internal fertilization is seen in mammals, birds and reptiles while external fertilization is seen in amphibians and fish.

Chapter I: Reproduction in Animals Objectives of the learning

Students are able to: 1. Understand the importance of reproduction 2. Distinguish the difference between sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction 3. The growth of a baby 1. 1 The importance of reproduction All living things must reproduce to replace themselves when they die and to ensure continuity of their kind

Glossary
Birth rate: the number of organisms (living things) born in a year Death rate: the number of organisms die in a year

Look at the picture! If the death rate is higher than the birth rate, what will happen to the elephant existence? If the birth rate is continuously lower than the death rate, then the species will be extinct When an organism reproduces, it passes down the heredity of itself. Heredity is special characteristic that passed down from the parents to their young. In humans, some heredity that passed down include: Attached and detached earlobe The ability to roll ones tongue The color of skin, hair, and eyes Straight or curly hair Height of a person

1. 2 Sexual Reproduction Reproductive Cell Sexual reproduction requires a male and female parent. Each parent contributes a sex cell. The male sex cell is called sperm. It contains generic information and characteristics of the father which can be passed down to the offspring (keturunan) The female sex cell is called ovum (egg cell). It contains generic information and characteristics of the mother which can be passed down to the offspring Fertilization
External fertilization Offspring: the next generation Pass down: to give something to someone who will be alive after he/ she has died

egg when the egg is still inside the female's body. Example: mammals (cow, dolphin, elephant, whale etc), birds (duck, chicken, and swan) and reptiles (snake, turtle, crocodile, komodo, and lizard). External fertilization, the sperm meets the
Internal fertilization Internal fertilization

eggs outside the females body. Example: amphibians (frog and salamander) and fishes. 1. 3 Asexual reproduction a. Fission Cell fission is common among unicellular organisms such as bacteria, many protists, some algae such as Spirogyra and Euglena Look at the picture!

Amoeba

The single-celled amoeba demonstrates a simple method of asexual reproduction. It divides in half by a process called fission, producing two smaller daughter cells. After a period of feeding and growth, these two daughter cells will themselves divide in half. b. Budding (tunas) The eggs develop within the body wall of the parent hydra. The embryos grow and attached to the parents body, like buds on a plant.
Hydras bud

c. Regeneration Regeneration takes place in Hydra, planaria and starfish reproduction. When a hydra is cut into fairly large pieces, each piece develops into a complete individual. Small pieces of hydra, when placed in contact together individual. with to each form other, a grow complete
Fission: the method of reproduction in which the parent divides its cell into two Unicellular: the single cell, it means that such organism has one cell only Regeneration: an entire organism generated from a part of its parent that Regeneration of Hydra
