Study Notes
Reproduction in Animals and Plants
- Reproduction is the biological process by which new organisms are created from their parent(s).
- Morphology is the study of the form and structure of organisms, while physiology deals with their functions.
- Animal and plant reproduction varies based on complexity of morphology and physiology.
- Different types of reproduction exist in the animal kingdom, including asexual and sexual reproduction.
Asexual Reproduction
- Asexual reproduction happens when a single parent produces offspring genetically identical to itself.
- It does not involve the union of gametes (sperm and egg).
- Asexual reproduction methods include:
- Fragmentation: An organism breaks into pieces, each developing into a new organism.
- Binary Fission: A cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
- Budding: A new organism develops from a small outgrowth of the parent.
- Sporulation: Specialized cells, called spores, develop into new organisms.
- Parthenogenesis: An egg develops into a new organism without fertilization.
Sexual Reproduction
- Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes (sperm and egg) to create a zygote.
- This results in genetically diverse offspring, different from both parents.
- The processes of fertilization and gametogenesis lead to a new organism.
Types of Animal Reproduction
- Oviparous: Animals lay eggs.
- Embryonic development occurs outside the mother's body.
- Viviparous: Animals give birth to live young.
- Embryonic development occurs within the mother's body.
- Examples of various reproduction types are provided in images found in the document. Important examples like different types of binary fission are also explained.
Types of Plant Reproduction
- Plants reproduce both sexually and asexually.
- Sexual reproduction in plants, typically involves flowers.
- The flower has parts like:
- Petals/Sepals: To attract insects.
- Stamen (male): Produces pollen.
- Pistil (female): Receives pollen, forms seeds.
- The flower has parts like:
- Incomplete flowers lack one or more of these parts.
- Complete flowers have all four parts.
Modifications in Flowers
- Complete Flowers: Have all four flower organs.
- Incomplete Flowers: Lack one or more of the four flower organs.
Vegetative Reproduction
- A form of asexual reproduction in plants where new plants grow from parts of an existing plant.
- Common methods include:
- Runners: Stems that grow horizontally above the ground producing new plants.
- Tubers: Underground stems containing buds for new plants.
- Bulbs: Shortened underground stems with stored food and leaves.
- Corms: Modified stems with stored food.
- Rhizomes: Modified stems that grow horizontally underground.
- Artificial propagation- methods used to reproduce a plant. There are specific steps involved for each case; as seen in the documents.
Chromosomes and Reproduction
- Different species have different numbers of chromosomes in their cells. The numbers vary between animals and plants depending on the species.
