ELS Q2 Week-3
Learning Competency:
Describe the different ways of how representative animals reproduce (S11/12LT-IIej-15). Time
allotment: one week
Key Concepts
Reproduction
-is a biological process producing offspring that are biologically or genetically similar to
the parents. It is a process that ensures the survival of species. Through it, organism can
pass on their traits to their offspring. These traits are passed on regardless of the type of
reproduction involved.
Sexual Reproduction
- is the process in which new organisms are created, by combining the genetic information
from two individuals of different sexes. The genetic information is carried on chromosomes
within the nucleus of specialized sex cells called gametes. In males, these gametes are
called sperm and in females the gametes are called eggs. During sexual reproduction the
two gametes join together in a fusion process known as fertilization, to create a zygote,
which is the precursor to an embryo offspring, taking half of its DNA from each of its
parents (Editors, 2020).
Sexual reproduction starts with the combination of a sperm and an egg in a process called
fertilization. This can occur either inside (internal fertilization) or outside (external
fertilization) the body of the female (Gair and Molnar 2019).
External fertilization usually occurs in aquatic environments where both eggs and
sperm are released into the water. After the sperm reaches the egg, fertilization takes
place. Most external fertilization happens during the process of spawning where one or
several females release their eggs and the male(s) release sperm in the same area, at the
same time. The release of the reproductive material may be triggered by water

Internal fertilization occurs most often in land-based animals, although some aquatic
animals also use this method. Some fishes, mammals including human beings, birds
and reptiles reproduce through internal fertilization. The development of embryo may take
place either internally or externally. Based on this, animals may be classified into three,
namely, oviparous, ovoviviparous and viviparous.
Animals that lay eggs are called oviparous. In oviparity, fertilized eggs are laid outside
the female’s body and develop there, receiving nourishment from the yolk that is a part of
the egg. This occurs in most bony fish, many reptiles, some cartilaginous fish, most
amphibians, two mammals, and all birds.
Reptiles and insects produce leathery eggs, while birds and turtles produce eggs with
high concentrations of calcium carbonate in the shell, making them hard. Chicken
eggs are an example of this type (Gair and Monar 2019).
Animals that lay eggs and develop the eggs inside the mother’s body are called
ovoviviparous. In ovoviviparity, fertilized eggs are retained in the female, but the embryo
obtains its nourishment from the egg’s yolk and the young are fully developed when they
are hatched. It occurs in many invertebrates, and in some fish and reptiles (e.g. the
viper).
Animals that give birth to offspring are called viviparous. In viviparity, the young
develop within the female, receiving nourishment from the mother’s blood through a
Internal fertilization has the advantage of protecting the fertilized egg from dehydration on
land. The embryo is isolated within the female, which limits predation on the young.
Internal fertilization enhances the fertilization of eggs by a specific male. Fewer offspring
are produced through this method, but their survival rate is higher than that for external
fertilization (Gair and Molnar 2019).

Asexual Reproduction
-is the production of new individuals from a single parent. This type of reproduction is
generally observed in single-celled organisms. Here no fusion of gametes is involved and
a single parent divides into two or more daughter cells. The offspring produced are
genetically and physically identical to the parent and are known as clones. This happens
not only to animals that are stationary (unable to move) but also to nonstationary
animals.
1. Budding- occurs when individuals arise throughout the outgrowths from a parent.
This can create a colony of individuals attached to a parent, such as in corals.

4. Parthenogenesis- is like apomixes in plants where the egg cell develops without
fertilization. This is exhibited by bees, wasps, lizards, and sharks.

Guide Questions:
1. How can certain animal produce without two parents?
In activity 1, learning the different modes of reproduction and how it differs from
each other gives you an idea how different animals reproduce their offspring and pass
their traits.

range from 300-500). The output is to be shared to family members or
immediate community.
➢ For Offline Digital Learners: make 3-5 minute interactive presentation
through slide decks and inclusion of self-made videos. The output is to be
shared to family members or immediate community.
➢ For Online Distance Learners: create 3-5 minute blog. The output is to be
shared through social media platforms.
