    Study Notes

    Animal Reproduction

    • Animals can reproduce asexually, producing genetically identical offspring, or sexually, combining genetic material from two individuals to produce genetically diverse offspring.
    • Hermaphroditism is when an organism has both male and female gametes, allowing for both sexual and asexual reproduction.

    Asexual Reproduction Methods

    • Fission (or binary fission): an organism splits into two separate organisms after growth, mainly occurring in prokaryotic microorganisms and some invertebrates.
    • Budding: an organism reproduces from an outgrowth of a cell or body region, leading to separation from the original organism, mainly occurring in some invertebrate animals.
    • Fragmentation: a body part breaks away, developing into a complete organism.
    • Parthenogenesis: an egg develops into a complete individual without being fertilized, occurring in invertebrates.

    Sexual Reproduction in Animals

    • Sexual reproduction involves the production of a new organism from two parents using sex cells or gametes.
    • Gametes (sperm and ovum) are cells involved in sexual reproduction.
    • A zygote is produced when a male gamete fuses with a female gamete via fertilization.
    • The stage of development between the zygote and the newly formed baby is called the embryo.

    Fertilization

    • Internal fertilization: occurs inside the female body, e.g., in humans, birds, and reptiles.
    • External fertilization: occurs outside the female body, e.g., in frogs and fish.

    Comparison of Asexual and Sexual Reproduction

    • Asexual reproduction requires one parent, involves no genetic variation, and produces offspring identical to the parent.
    • Sexual reproduction requires two parents, involves genetic variation, and produces offspring similar yet unique to the parents.
    • Asexual reproduction takes shorter time and less energy, while sexual reproduction takes more time and more energy.

    In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

    • IVF is a type of assisted reproductive technology (ART) used for patients with difficulty conceiving.
    • The process involves removing eggs from a woman's ovary, combining them with sperm outside the body, and producing embryos in vitro.
    • The fertilized egg (embryo) is placed inside a uterus, and pregnancy occurs when the embryo implants into the uterine wall.
    • IVF is performed to help with fertility or prevent genetic problems and assist with conception.
