Reproduction in Animals Notes Part-2

The document provides questions and answers about reproduction in animals. It discusses topics like fertilization in humans, metamorphosis with examples of silkworm and frog lifecycles, why fish and frogs lay hundreds of eggs, internal fertilization in hens, and binary fission in amoebas. Reproduction techniques like IVF that produce test-tube babies and cloning, with Dolly the sheep as the first cloned mammal, are also covered. Diagrams illustrate the lifecycles of frogs and reproduction methods like budding in hydra and binary fission.

CHAPTER 9: REPRODUCTION IN ANIMALS


TERM-2 : PART-2

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE STUDENTS :


● WRITE ALL THE QUESTIONS & ANSWERS NEATLY IN YOUR NOTE BOOK.
● DRAW ALL THE DIAGRAMS NEATLY IN YOUR NOTE BOOK WITH PROPER LABELLING.
QUESTIONS/ANSWERS
Q5 Describe the process of fertilization in human being.

Fertilization
● The fusion of the male & female gamete (sperm & ovum) is called Fertilization.
● In human fertilization takes place in the fallopian tube or oviduct.
● The nuclei of the sperm and egg fuse to form a single nucleus
Resulting in the formation of a fertilized egg or zygote.
●Since the zygote is formed with the fusion of male and female gametes the new
individual possesses the characteristics of both the parents.
Q6 What is metamorphosis?.Give two example .
The process of transformation of the larva into an adult through drastic changes is called
metamorphosis.
1) Life cycle of silkworm
Egg---- Larva------caterpillar---------pupa -------------adult
2) Life cycle of frog
Egg--------early tadpole (larva)--------Late tadpole---------adult

Q7 Explain the life cycle of frog with schematic diagram.


Q8 Why do fish and frogs lay eggs in hundreds ?
Ans 8 Fish and frogs lays hundred of eggs because the eggs and sperms get exposed to
water movement, wind and rainfall. Also, there are other animals in the pond
which may feed on eggs, thus production of large number of eggs and sperms is
necessary to ensure fertilization.
Q9. What type of fertilization take place in hen ? How are chicks born?
Ans 9
● Internal fertilization take place in hen.
● After the formation of the zygote, it keeps on dividing itself and then travels
through the oviduct.
● In this process, protective layers are formed over the egg that then turns into a
hard shell or covering of the egg.
● When this hard shell is formed the hen lays the egg.
● Then it takes almost 3 weeks for the embryo to develop into a chick.
Q10. With the help of diagram explain
a) Binary fission in amoeba.
b) Budding in Hydra.
BINARY FISSION IN AMOEBA
1) Amoeba is a single celled organism
2) It begins the process of reproduction by the division of its nucleus in to two nuclei.
3) It is followed by division of its body in to two, each part receiving a nucleus.
4) Finally two amoebae are produced from one parent amoeba..
This type of reproduction is called as binary fission.
.BUDDING

● A bud starts as an outgrowth on the parent body.


● As this bud grows, it becomes a new individual organism.
● In some organisms, the buds remain attached to the parent’s body (example: yeast)
● In some organisms, it detaches from parent body and develops into a complete
mature individual (hydra).
● This type of reproduction is called as budding.

Q11 How is an embryo developed?


Ans 11. Development of the Embryo
● The zygote formed after the fertilization process divides itself in a repeated manner
and forms a ball of cells.
● These cells then form different groups and each group then starts developing into
different tissues and organs. This structure is called an Embryo.
● The embryo embeds itself into the uterus wall and continues to develop and grow.
Q12 How are babies produced through IVF technique?What are such babies are called?
Ans12.
● In some women, the oviducts are blocked and hence they are unable to bear babies
● IVF or in vitro Fertilization: The fertilization of an egg that takes place outside the
body in a test tube or in any other, apparatus is known IVF (in vitro Fertilization).
● The zygote thus formed is allowed to develop for a week outside the female body in
safe conditions and is then placed in the woman's uterus.
● Complete development takes place in the uterus and the baby is born like any other
normal baby.
● The babies born through this technique (IVF) are called Test Tube Babies

Q13. What is cloning?


Ans 13. Cloning Is the production of an exact copy of a cell, any other living parts or a
complete organisms.
It was successfully performed for the first time by Ian Wilmut and his colleagues.
They cloned a sheep named Dolly, she was born on 5th July 1996 and was first
Mammal to be cloned.
