Does a frog

Like humans, animals also
need to reproduce. They
have also their own
reproductive system that
makes them able to do such
life processes.
 Animals have the means to increase
their number through reproduction. This is to
preserve their species and to help in keeping
the natural balance as they interact with
other animals. Different animals have unique
modes of reproduction. It can be noticed that
some animals can reproduce in large
numbers like insects, pigs, dogs, and frogs
while some animals can not. On the other
hand, those big animals generally reproduce
in fewer number.
Which animals can reproduce in large
number?

What are the animals that reproduce in fewer

number?
 Reproduction involves the transfer of
characteristics of parents to their
offspring or young. During fertilization
(meeting of egg and sperm cell), genetic
materials like DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
are shared by the parents to produce new
organism that may either be possessing
unique characteristics or having an exact
copy of what the parent has.
Most of the animals like cats, dogs,
butterflies, frogs, and the like need a male
and a female to reproduce. This is called
sexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction is a
process of creating offspring
with the participation of a
sperm cells from the male
parent and an egg cells from
the female parent.

Review:
Identify whether the following animals are
reproducing sexually. Write TWO PARENTS if the
animal shows sexual reproduction. Otherwise, write
SINGLE PARENT.
How do animals reproduce?

Most animals can only produce a

new individual when two parents
are present.
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
takes place when sex
cells from two parent
animals (one male and one
female) unite to form a new
animal.
Fertilization
= takes place when sex cells from two
parent animals (one male and one female)
unite to form a new animal.
Two types of Sex Cells or gametes
• Egg cell = for females
• Sperm cell = for male
Zygote = fertilized egg which develops to embryo.
Embryo = the early developmental stage of an animal while it
is in the egg or within the uterus of the mother.
Hermaphrodites = both male and female gametes are present in
the same individuals.
Example; earthworms and leeches
 Two Types of Fertilization
Internal Fertilization happens when the male animal
releases sperm cells into the body of the female
animal to fertilize the egg cell.
Example: Human, Duck, cats and dogs

External Fertilization occurs outside the bodies of

the parents. The female releases eggs into the water
or attaches them to a plant or rock. The male then
releases sperm cells over the eggs to fertilize them.
Most frogs and fishes undergo external fertilization.
INTERNAL FERTILIZATION
Butterfly fertilizes
by internal
fertilization in which
the sperm and ovum
fuses on the
female's body.
External Fertilization
Generally the frogs lay
eggs which occur
through external
fertilization. The
female releases the
eggs in the water and
the male releases
sperms in water so that
egg and sperm can
meet in the water.
Using the table, identify if they reproduce through internal
or external fertilization by checking the correct column.

How do some animals reproduce with only

Let’s Discuss It!

You have learned about how animals can reproduce
with two parents. However, some animals can
reproduce with just one parent.
Look at this picture.

What can you say about the picture?

 Asexual Reproduction in
Animals
Asexual Reproduction does not need one
male and one female parent to reproduce an
offspring. A single parent organism simply
makes identical copies of itself.

Methods of Asexual reproduction:

Binary Fission
Budding

Advantages and disadvantages of asexual
reproduction in animals.
Advantages
1. The organism does not need a partner for it to
reproduce.
2. The organism develops faster than those
produced in sexual reproduction.

Disadvantages
1. Any disease or negative characteristics of the
parent will be passed onto the offspring since it
is very identical to the parent.
Make a Venn Diagram comparing the mode of
reproduction of fish and hydra.
How many parents is needed in
asexual reproduction?

In human, does asexual

reproduction applicable? Why?
Why is it said that Reproduction in
animals is best described as the
process of producing its own kind.

What are the two types of asexual

reproduction?
True or false: Write T if the statement is true and F
false if not.
1. Asexual reproduction is making a copy of the
organism with a single parent.
2. Some tiny animals and marine animals, like sea
anemone, reproduce by binary fission.
3. Reproduction is the ability of a living thing to make
copies of itself.
4. Budding happens when the parent animal divides
itself into two.
5. Fission happens when an outgrowth of the parent
animal develops into new animal.

Observe the following pictures:

Which animal were born alive?

Which is hatched from egg?
Look at the pictures and describe if it is born alive or
hatched from egg.
Animals have different modes of
reproduction. Some animals are
egg-laying while some are born
alive.

Egg-laying animals = animals that

lay their eggs to the environment.
The laid eggs by the female are
developed outside her body.
Incubation period
= time between the laying of the egg and the
hatching of the young.

Born alive animals = animals that retain and

nourish the fertilized egg inside the body of the
female parent. The fertilized egg develops into an
embryo that grows while receiving the nourishment
from the mother through the placenta.

Gestation = the time between fertilization and birth

of the live young animal.
What do you think is the advantage of
born alive animal?

Advantage of an animal that is born

alive:

The mother can concentrate on taking

care of only few young. Even in the
womb, one or two young will be able to
receive proper nourishment from the
mother.
Describe whether the following
animals are born alive or
hatched from an egg.

1.duck
2. pig
3. horse
4. Maya
5. Cat
Can you name other animals
that are born alive and
hatched from egg?
Describe the difference between
animals that are born alive and
animals that are hatched from
eggs.
Draw a star if the statement described animals
that born alive and circle if it’s hatched from eggs.
1. Insects develop outside their mother’s body.
2. Elephants are born alive, looking like their
mother.
3. It is a mode of reproduction where animals
develop inside their mother’s body.
4. It is a mode of reproduction where animals are
hatch from shell.
5. Unborn monkeys get nourishment from their
mother while they are still developing.
