    Study Notes

    Reproduction and Development of Plants and Animals

    • Reproduction is the biological process of creating new organisms
    • It's crucial for the continuation of a species
    • Reproduction methods vary among organisms, including asexual and sexual reproduction
    • Development is the process of progressive changes in an organism's size, shape, and function throughout its life cycle
    • During development, genetic potentials are translated into mature systems

    What is Reproduction?

    • Animals reproduce offspring to continue the species
    • Living things reproduce young ones of their own kind
    • It's the biological process making new organisms

    Types of Reproduction

    Asexual Reproduction

    • Production of a new organism from a single parent
    • Offspring are exact copies of the parent
    • Does not involve sex cells

    Sexual Reproduction

    • New organism forms from two parents
    • Involves sex cells (gametes) from both parents
    • Leads to genetic variation in offspring

    Asexual Reproduction in Animals

    • Budding: New individuals split off from an existing organism
    • Fragmentation: An organism splits into fragments, each creating a new organism
    • Fission: A parent cell divides into two equal halves, becoming two new organisms
    • Spore formation: Parent plant creates thousands of tiny spores, each growing into new plants

    Sexual Reproduction in Animals

    • The fusion of male and female gametes to form a new organism
    • Sperm and eggs unite, forming a zygote, the first cell of a new organism

    Fertilization

    • Fertilization (also called conception) is the union of an egg and sperm cell.
    • A diploid zygote is created
    • It occurs internally or externally
    • Internal Fertilization: Fusion of gametes inside the female body. Male gametes are typically introduced into the female's body by a penis.
    • External Fertilization: Gametes fuse outside the female's body
    • It typically occurs in aquatic environments

    Types of Internal Fertilization

    • Oviparity: Fertilized eggs are laid outside the mother's body
    • Ovoviviparity: Fertilized eggs are kept inside the mother's body
    • Viviparity: Offspring are born live

    Sexual Reproduction in Plants

    • Plants reproduce sexually through pollination
    • Flowers contain male (stamen) and female (pistil) sex organs
    • The anther contains pollen (male gametes)
    • Pollen must reach the stigma (female part)
    • Pollen transfer methods include wind, water, insects, and animals
    • Self-pollination: Pollen from the same flower fertilizes its ovules
    • Cross-pollination: Pollen from one flower fertilizes another flower

    Pollination

    • The transfer of pollen from the stamen to the stigma
    • This is crucial for the fertilization and seed production in flowering plants

    Parts of a Flower

    • Sepals: Outermost green protective parts of a flower
    • Petals: Inside the sepals, usually colorful, attract pollinators
    • Stamens: Male reproductive parts
    • Anther: pollen production
    • Filament: Holds up the anther
    • Pistils: Female reproductive parts
    • Carpel: inner part of the flower
      • Stigma: sticky surface to trap pollen
      • Style: connects the stigma and ovary
      • Ovary: contains ovules (female gametes)

    Modified Stems in Vegetative Propagation

    • Runners: Horizontal stems that grow along the soil surface with new plants growing from the nodes
    • Rhizomes: Horizontal stems that grow underground and produce new roots and shoots
    • Tubers: Thickened underground stems that store food and from which new plants are produced
    • Bulbs: Underground stems with short stems and fleshy modified leaves that store food
    • Corms: Underground stems similar to bulbs, but the storage structure is the stem

    Asexual Reproduction in Plants

    • Plants use vegetative parts (stems, roots, and leaves) to create a new plant
    • This results in genetically identical offspring
    • Methods include natural and artificial methods of vegetative propagation, such as runners, rhizomes, tubers, and bulbs
    • Methods can also be used artificially like taking cuttings to create new plants

    Gametogenesis

    • The formation of gametes (sperm and eggs)
    • Oogenesis: Egg formation
    • Spermatogenesis: Sperm formation

    Development

    • The process of changes in size, shape, function, and characteristics of an organism starting from a single cell
    • Refers to the physiological and functional maturation, taking successive forms throughout the life cycle
    • Includes fertilized egg to embryo stage to fetal stage until birth
