It leads to genetic variation. The types of sexual reproduction seen in animals are syngamy (fertilization) and conjugation. In syngamy, the fusion of two haploid gametes takes place to produce a diploid zygote. Depending upon the place where the fertilization takes place, it is of two types. In external fertilization, the fusion of male and Fig. 1.11 Regeneration in Hydra female gametes takes place outside the body Regen­eration is regrowth in the injured of female organisms in the water medium. e.g. region.

In reparative regeneration, only certain damaged Different kinds of syngamy (fertilization) tissue can be regenerated, e.g. human beings are prevalent among living organisms. (liver tissue) whereas in restorative regeneration a) Autogamy- The male and female severed body parts can develop. e.g. star fish, gametes are produced by the same cell or same tail of wall lizard. organism and both the gametes fuse together to form a zygote. e.g. Actinosphaerium and Paramecium. b) Exogamy- The male and female gametes are produced by different parents and they fuse to form a zygote. So it is biparental. e.g. Human beings – dioecious or unisexual animal. Fig. 1.12 Restorative regeneration in star fish c) Hologamy- Lower organisms, sometimes the entire mature organisms do not form gametes 1.3. Sexual reproduction but they themselves behave as gametes and the Sexual reproduction involves the fusion fusion of such mature individuals is known as of male and female gametes to form a diploid hologamy e.g. Trichonympha.

Complete parthenogenesis is the only form Phases of life cycle: Organisms have of reproduction in certain animals and there is three phases – Juvenile phase, reproductive no biparental sexual reproduction. There are phase and senescent phase. Juvenile no male organisms and so, such individuals phase/ vegetative phase is the period of are represented by females only. Incomplete growth between the birth of the individual parthenogenesis is found in some animals upto reproductive maturity. During in which both sexual reproduction and reproductive phase/ maturity phase the parthenogenesis occurs. e.g. In honeybees; organisms reproduce and their offsprings fertilized eggs (zygotes) develop into queen reach maturity period.
