    This document summarizes key concepts about reproduction from Chapter 4, including the two main types of reproduction (sexual and asexual), the male and female reproductive systems, the menstrual cycle, fertilization, pregnancy, and plant reproduction processes like pollination and seed germination. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of male and female gametes, while asexual reproduction requires only one parent and can occur through various methods like budding, spore formation, and regeneration.

    4.1 : Sexual & Asexual Reproduction
    Reproduction : Sexual & Asexual
    •  Reproduction :
    –  A process which takes
    place in all living things
    –  Ability to produce 1 or
    more new individuals
    with the same
    characteristics as the
    parents
    •  It is important as to
    ensure the living
    things will not extinct
    •  Two types of
    reproduction
    methods : Sexual &
    Asexual
    4.1 : Sexual & Asexual Reproduction
    Reproduction : Sexual & Asexual
    •  Sexual Reproduction:
    –  New individual is
    formed from the
    fusion
    (combination) of a
    male gamete
    (sperm) and a
    female gamete (egg
    cell) to form a
    zygote
    –  Examples : human,
    mammals, birds,
    reptiles,
    amphibians, fish,
    insects, earthworms
    and flowering plants
    4.1 : Sexual & Asexual Reproduction
    Reproduction : Sexual & Asexual
    •  Asexual Reproduction:
    –  Formation of new
    individual without
    using gametes
    –  Involves ONLY ONE
    parent plant or
    animal
    –  Does NOT involve
    fusion of gametes
    –  Produces new
    individuals with
    similar
    characteristics as
    the parent.
    4.1 : Sexual & Asexual Reproduction
    Types of Asexual Reproduction
    •  Is usually carried
    out by lower
    classes of
    animals eg.
    Amoeba, hydra,
    non-flowering
    plants (ferns,
    mosses, fungi)
    •  Several
    methods :
    –  Binary fission
    –  Budding
    –  Spore formation
    –  Vegetative
    Reproduction
    –  Regeneration

    4.1 : Sexual & Asexual Reproduction
    Fertilization in Animals
    •  Fertilization :
    Fusion of the
    nucleus of a male
    gamete (sperm)
    and the female
    gamete (ovum) to
    form a zygote
    •  Sperms are formed
    in testis (plural :
    testes)
    •  Egg cells/Ovum are
    formed in ovary
    •  Zygote grows by
    cell division
    4.1 : Sexual & Asexual Reproduction
    Fertilization in Animals
    •  Animals that have
    both testis & ovary
    are called
    hermaphrodites
    •  2 types :
    –  Internal fertilization
    –  External fertilization
