REPRODUCTION IN ANIMALS

1anewer the following


.
1. What are sperm and ovum? Explain.

The male gamete is called sperm. It is produced by male reproductive


organ, testes. Structurally, it consists of a head attached to a long tail.
The tail helps the sperm to move around. The head bears the small
nucleus.

Ovum are the female gamete. They are also called egg. They are
produced by the female reproductive organ. They consist of larger
nucleus.
Both sperm and ovum are reproductive cells and contain single cell.

2. What is reproduction?

Reproduction is the process of producing offspring that are biologically


or genetically like the parent organism.”

3.Stages of silkworm. Life cycle


Answer:
The life cycle of silkworm is completed in four stages.
Egg → Larva or Caterpillar → Pupa → Adult

4.What do you mean by metamorphosis? How does


metamorphosis take place in frog? Explain with a diagram.
Answer:
The transformation of the larva into an adult through drastic
(sudden or abrupt) changes is called metamorphosis. For
example, a moth emerging out of the cocoon, an adult frog from a
tadpole, etc., undergo metamorphosis.

During metamorphosis the tadpole will develop back legs first,


then front legs. ... The tadpoles turn into Froglets. The body
shrinks and legs form. The Froglet's tail shrinks, the lungs
develop, and the back legs grow and then we have a Frog.

Frog undergoes through three stages during its life cycle in which
eggs laid down by frogs transform into tadpoles (larva) and finally
into an adult following the process of metamorphosis.

5.Describe female reproductive organs with the help of a


labelled diagram.
Answer:
The female reproductive organs mainly consist of a pair of
ovaries, oviducts or fallopian tubes, uterus and vagina.

The female gametes called ova or eggs are produced by ovary.

In human beings, a single matured egg is released into the


oviduct by one of the ovaries every month.

Uterus is the part inside which the embryo grows and develops
finally into a baby.

An egg or ovum is a single cell. Vagina is the part which receives


the penis during copulation.

.
6. What is cloning?
Cloning is the production of an exact or a true copy of a cell, any
other living part, or a complete organism by asexual reproduction.

7.Explain how Amoeba reproduce?


or
Explain in brief the process of binary fission.
Answer:
Amoeba reproduces through the process of binary fission.

Binary fission is another method of asexual reproduction.

Amoeba is a single-celled organism. It begins the process of


reproduction by the division of its nucleus into two nuclei followed
by division of its body into two, each part receiving a nucleus.

Finally, two daughter cells are produced from one parent


Amoeba. This type of asexual reproduction in which an animal
reproduces by dividing into two individuals is known as binary
fission.

8.How does twinning occurs during sexual reproduction?

Twins are two offspring produced by same pregnancy. Non-


identical twins result from two fertilized eggs when get implanted
in the uterus wall at the same time.
Identical twins occur when a single egg is fertilized to form one
zygote which then divides into two separate embryos.
